Why We Like Them:
Amazing Histories!

Mixed in the family history of the "Lefingebi" book is a wonderful history of England. We call special attention to the maps of 5th & 9th Centuries England, found on pgs 31-32. Pages 70-71 discuss emigration to US and pgs 1270-1272 explains the Census Tracks.

In "The Founding of a Nation" the forward explains the difference between "Pilgrims" and "Puritans". It also contains excellent maps not only of "Landing Rock" aka Plymouth Rock, which was their third discovery (pg 205) but of their first and second discoveries as well (pg 153 and 183 respectively). Also contains a picture of the Mayflower entering Plymouth Harbor (pg 235).
