pages. Book is in new condition. Just  what you need for genealogy research.
This is the most important collection of Pennsylvania-German  source materials to appear since the publication of Strassburger and Hinke's   Pennsylvania German Pioneers over fifty years ago. Primarily a compilation of  Reformed Church marriage records (including some records from Lutheran and Union  churches), it provides documentation on some 50,000 persons of German origin or  descent. Based on records in the collection formed by Dr. William J Hinke--records  of approximately 100 churches in eastern Pennsylvania--the compiler has  developed herein not merely a list of marriages but a genealogical record of the  Pennsylvania Germans.
The records of actual marriages, which form the basis of the  work, generally give the names of the bride and groom, the date of marriage,  names of parents, place of residence, and sometimes place of origin, date of  birth, and previous marital status; while records of marriage deriving from  baptismal entries, burial records, etc., variously give names of parents  (usually the maiden name of the mother), names of grandparents and sponsors,  place and date of birth and/or baptism, names of children, and date of death.  Many of the records transcribed here are capsule pedigrees, some identifying  three or more generations in a direct line of descent. There is, besides, an  abundance of out-of-the-way and unexpected information. Considered as a whole, Pennsylvania German Marriages must rank as one of the premier  sources in all of Pennsylvania-German genealogy.

"Magna Charta Sureties 1215"
Frederick Lewis Weis
Book of 236 pages in new condition. This is the newest 5th edition.
At the signing of the Magna Charta, twenty-five men, representing the barons, signed as sureties of the baronial performance, in effect pledging the barons to fulfill their obligations to the Crown in accordance with the terms of the Great Charter. Of these twenty-five sureties only seventeen have identified descendants. Each of the seventeen is represented in the celebrated
Magna Charta Sureties
, which traces their connections--line by line and generation by generation--to approximately 160 American colonists.
Eight years have passed since the publication of the last edition of this work, however, and in the interval a great many additions, corrections, and revisions have accumulated. Brought to a very high standard by the unremitting efforts of its editor, Walter Lee Sheppard, Jr., this fifth edition incorporates new lines, corrects errors in existing lines, adds recently discovered material, and supplies references where they had previously been omitted. The result is a reliable and authoritative collection of interlocking pedigrees which carry the ancestry of some 160 American colonists back to the thirteenth century. With the possible exception of Weis's
Ancestral Roots
(also published by Genealogical Publishing Co.), this is probably the very best work ever written on the pre-colonial ancestry of American colonists. Though there is some overlap between this work and
Ancestral Roots
, most of the material supplied here is different, and the books may be used together.
