Description

Schlegel's American Families of German  Ancestry in The United States
Four Softbound volumes  totaling
1638
pages. Books are in  new condition. Just what you need  for genealogy research. Per the publisher;
This is a reprint of the largest collection of  German-American genealogies ever published, a full-blown compendium of family  history and biography unknown to all but a handful of specialists. The first  three volumes were published somewhat inopportunely between 1916 and 1918, with  a fourth volume added in 1926. Each volume was limited to 200 numbered and  registered copies, and consequently only a dozen or so three-volume sets can be  located today, while the fourth volume is all but unknown. This is a complete  paradox, for like similar compendia by Virkus and McKenzie, this work should be  available to all students of genealogy and should be the very first resource for  anyone researching German-American ancestry.
Unlike other great compendia, however,
Schlegel
doesn't just start out with the immigrant ancestor; rather, each family history  usually begins two or three generations back, examining the family in its  historic setting before bringing it forward to the immigrant ancestor and his  descendants in America. Averaging about ten pages in length, including portraits  and coats of arms, the family histories are no mere catalogues of births,  marriages, and deaths but are rich biographical and genealogical studies, each  depicting the education, service, achievements, life, and career of the various  family members, and each tracing the roots of the first four or five generations  in America, usually commencing in the 18th or the 19th century, naming thousands  of related family members.
Of all the information-rich sources of German-American  ancestry, none is this comprehensive or as useful to the researcher, as  illustrated by its coverage of the following families:
