It is tempting to ascribe all the work to a famous genealogist but one must give credit where credit is due. Jacobus had a skill and was hired to whip the manuscript into shape. A large portion of the work was done by a person who had the passion to find the information.

Are you related to him or did he just write a book about your ancestors? Either way, that's incredible----tons of beautiful family photos AND the man regarded by many as the "father" of genealogy wrote volumes about your ancestors---how lucky can you get Jana?
