Genealogical Record of the Descendants of the Schwenkfelders. Who Arrived in Pennsylvania in 1733, 1734, 1736, 1737

Book Synopsis: About the Book

Genealogy is the study of families, by tracing their lineages through history. Genealogists employ oral interviews, historical records, genetic analysis, and other records to compile a database relating to a family that demonstrates kinship between its members. The results are often displayed in the form of a chart, such as a "family tree" or are presented as written narratives. Several motives shape their desire to investigate family history and origins, including the desire to establish a place for one's family in the broader historical picture, the feeling of responsibility to preserve the past for the edification of coming generations, and the satisfaction that is derived from telling what are often intricate, surprising and complex stories. Books on genealogy are often presenting the results of genealogical studies, but may also provide the raw data for genealogical research, such as parish rolls and censuses.

And in this Book

Biographies and auto-biographies that should be classed as part of a nation or a society’s cultural heritage are hard to define. Cultural heritage is often seen as the legacy of intangible attributes of a group or society that are inherited from past generations. Cultural heritage includes tangible culture such as books, works of art, and artifacts, and intangible culture, such as folklore, traditions, language, and knowledge. The people who have contributed to those cultural attributes are relevant here.
