Selected Bibliography

The following is a selection from among the hundreds of sources used in compiling this genealogy. They have been selected for various reasons. Some may have provided obscure details that wouldn’t have been found elsewhere. Others provided a wealth of reliable information, or maybe they were just plain interesting. Many are not yet available electronically, and therefore may be overlooked by those less diligent.
