I've wanted to put
this book up for some time and have in fact purchased 2 copies of
the book but the text is such that it's almost impossible to ocr
this in and it's too large for me to type it in. I've thus
decided to put this page up and have scanned in the Introduction but
then have made a link available so you can download a .pdf file of
the book which I got from the Internet Archive. Below you can
see the names of the family histories that are contained in the
book.
