Ancestral Roots
Of Certain American  Colonists Who Came To America Before 1700. The Lineage of Alfred The Great,  Charlemagne, Malcolm of Scotland, Robert The Strong, And Some of their  Descendants
Frederick Lewis Weis
Hardbound book of
253
pages in excellent condition.  Per The publisher;
This is the seventh edition of the classic work on the royal ancestry of certain  colonists who came to America before the year 1700, and the first to appear in  four years. Like previous editions of this book, which had been titled
Ancestral Roots of Sixty Colonists Who Came to New England Between 1623 and 1650
,  the seventh edition embodies the very latest research on the subject, the  various lines of descent having been thoroughly revised and in some cases  extended. In addition, all footnotes and corrections in earlier editions have  been incorporated in the text, recently discovered errors corrected, and many  new lines added.
Readers should note that in addition to the names given in the sub-title  of the work, descent is traced to the following great figures of the Middle  Ages: Clovis I, Clovis the Riparian, Malcolm II, Isabel de Vermandois, William  de Warenne, Edward I, Henry II, Henry III, Edward III, King Aethelred II, and  the early kings of Great Britain and Ireland, as well as Norman and Magna Charta  barons.
