The Genealogical Association undertakes record searching,
by professional genealogists, in any part of the United States

resident genealogists in the New England States, Virginia,

same means thoroughly accurate and authenticated application

The Association not only compiles family histories, but prints
them as well. Many persons have gathered data concerning
their ancestry which is practically inaccessible to many of their
family connections as long as it remains in manuscript. Yet it
is an matter, with aid, to a small edition of
easy proper print

necessity in work of this sort, can be supplied from the ex-

may be sent and estimates on the cost of printing a limited
