The first chapter of a MBW Family History Volume concentrates on the immigrant ancestors descended from a specific branch of your family tree. Next, we delve into the probable historic causes that may have motivated these immigrants to embark upon a new life in America. Each successive chapter features the American experience of a new generation until we reach the present day.
Information concerning your family’s lineage is collected from a wide array of genealogical sources, including: Federal Census Reports, birth and death certificates, wills, obituaries, defunct city directories, marriage announcements, old military records, and more.
