Genealogical History Of The Grannis Family In America PDF Download

Excerpt from Genealogical History of the Grannis Family in America: From 1630 to 1901 to Accompany the Grannis Family Chart of 1900 A Desire to live in the memory of family, friends, and the world at large is universal as is shown in the great variety of monuments from the Egyptian pyramids down to the marble slab or bit of wood that marks the resting place of the departed for a period of time more or less brief; the same desire also is shown in the written histories of individuals, families, communities, states, and nations, and in painting, poetry, and song, as well as in fiction, sacred or profane, of good and bad alike. The writing up of a family history of eight generations in this new country with its changed and changing conditions from the early Pilgrims to the Twentieth Century (nearly 300 years) is not so easy nor pleasant a task as one might imagine. In our Family Record we only ask the full name, place and date of each birth, marriage, and death, but there generally come family or personal items that go to help make up a family history.
