It's hard to describe the feeling of finally holding this piece of history in my hands. After searching the internet, visiting local libraries, and contacting historical societies just to try to take a peek at the information contained here, I'm overwhelmed and awed to be able to now own a personal copy of these historical records.
Yes, this is just a reprint and not the original manuscript. But it is a high-quality reproduction, expertly bound, containing a clear and concise rendering of the original works. It is the information that I needed to continue on my genealogical quest. And I will treasure it for many years to come.
