TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE

All changes noted in the ERRATA (at the front of the book) have beenapplied to the etext.

As the ERRATA states: "Errors in spelling, and occasionallydiscrepancies in dates may be found, but their correction willreadily suggest itself to the reader." Errors in dates, evenseemingly obvious ones, have not been corrected.However in the web version of this etext, a date that is likelyincorrect is underlined with a dotted line and a mouse-hover willshow the (probable) corrected date.

The list of children given in almost every entry in the geneology ispresented in several different formats throughout the original text.These different inconsistent formats are retained in the etext.

When a listed child has a more detailed entry in the section relating tothe next generation, that child will have a link forward to that detailedentry. Only a small percentage of listed children have a more detailed entry,perhaps 10-15%.

When a detailed entry names the parents, the parents will have a linkback to the father's (sometimes the mother's) detailed entry in the priorgeneration section when such an entry exists, which it does about 95% of the time).

The two Indexes are incomplete and contain many errors. With a fewexceptions these errors have not been adjusted; one valid page numberhas been added to an entry when none was present in the original Index.

Obvious typographical errors and punctuation errors have beencorrected after careful comparison with other occurrences withinthe text and consultation of external sources.

The cover image was created by the transcriberand is placed in the public domain.

More detail of changes made can be found at the end of the book.
