These pages about the Seward family are primarily the result of the work of my aunt Mildred Pierce. She assembled and organized a large collection of Seward records BC (before computers), before the Internet, and before the current "age of information" . Between September 1968 and June 1971 she published a quarterly magazine called "Seward Cousins" in which she printed records which she had collected for all branches of the Seward family. When I started working with genealogical records several years ago I finally began to appreciate the time and effort involved in this undertaking.

• The quarterly magazine "Seward Cousins" which Mildred Pierce created and published between 1968 and 1971. It includes information for my branch of the Seward family going back to American Revolution.
  
  
• In 1987 George C. Seward published a book called "Seward and Related Families." In it he details his entire ancestry, but a great deal of his research examines the pre-revolutionary history of the Sewards in America, in particular Obadiah Seward's line.
  
  
• "Obadiah Seward of Long Island, New York and His Descendants" was written by Dr. Frederick Whittlesey Seward, Jr. and published 1948 at Goshen, NY. I do not own this book so I can't comment on its content. It's often listed as a reference source for the Seward family.
