Surprisingly the info in this book was very accurate. It's sad that in 1929 it was considered a scam to make money off of the family's interested in their history and today we have websites ie ancestry that make millions selling the very same info. JM Seaver was just ahead of his time.<br />Cheers.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06822032458163793092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-57614785211228580362007-11-02T06:42:00.000-07:002007-11-02T06:42:00.000-07:00P08X0L Very good blog!

I was given a Davis family history book (which I can't seem to find now) but I also saw a web link posted on an Ancestry.com message board for a site that has transcribed it and several other J.M. Seaver books. It appears that MANY copies of his books are used by MANY sites and libraries. <br /><br />It's good to hear that you haven't found much wrong with his work, but it would be nice to find the same about his other books.<br /><br />Not to stir anything up, but perhaps I'll try to do some investigating of Mr. Seaver & his works. I'd guess that they could certainly be used as "starting points", but it would be nice to know how accurate they are!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03146342046074608047noreply@blogger.com
