Living Descendants of Blood Royal (in America), Volume Two

by Count d'Angerville

1962 World Nobility and Peerage (London), 5 1/2 x 7 1/4 inches tall x 1 1/2 inches thick red cloth hardcover, no dust jacket, gilt design and lettering to front cover and spine, red marbled endpapers, all page edges red, title printed in black and red ink, illustrated with black-and-white photographs, index and errata, xxix, 858, [23] pp. The slightest bit of light soiling to the covers, with a bit of bumping to the upper tip of the front cover. Otherwise, a near fine copy - clean, bright and unmarked - of this uncommon genealogy. 

The Count d'Angerville, distinguished editor of the 'Annuaire de la Noblesse de France,' the old French counterpart of the now extinct 'Almanach de Gotha,' presents the pedigrees of those persons who descend from the royal families of Europe. This monumental and highly sought-after second volume meticulously documents the genealogical linkages connecting prominent American families directly back to European aristocratic and royal bloodlines. The text provides detailed lineage charts, biographical sketches, and historical documentation spanning centuries, making it an invaluable reference for researchers, historians, and descendants verifying their heritage. 

Includes extensive lineage entries for the Alston, Beall, Boden, Brown, Cooper, Cox, Dalton, Davidson, Denning, Ferris, Foster, Goodwin, Hamilton, Hedges, Hooker, Howard, Jackson, Johnson, Kelly, Knappenberger, Lee, Lewis, Maddox, Mancill, Marshall, Martin, Miller, Moore, Morrison, Norton, Ordway, Parker, Phillips, Pope, Rowbotham, Smith, Stewart, Summer, Taylor, Thomas, True, Wade, West, Williams, Wilson, Woodard, Woodson and Woodward families, among many others. A beautifully preserved, collector-grade copy of a scarce reference work.
