of recording the des cendants of christian reesor and his wife fanny reift who migrat- ed to markham township from pennsylvania in 1804 within six months the above committee had collected and pub lished in book form data on five thousand descendants throughout the eight and in some cases nine generations the list comprised 350 different family names prac tically every established name in the township had intermarried during this span of a century and a half true enough we all cannot enjoy the same hobbies some collect old stamps and coins relics and pie tures of clays gone by the tracing and recording of ones arse istry too can be a fascinating hobby and the resultant collection constantly useful for reference numerous books and periodicals are available on genealogy and the public archives and libraries a valuable source of information to those in search of early annals the long establish ed custom of erecting monuments and thus making a permanent record in stone of our ancestors is a positive indication of our desire to perpetuate the memory of our progenitors a genealogicrl record in a like manner sat yes posterity with a much more com plete and convenient record both of past generations as veil as of those still living the history of the reesor fam ily in canada actually becane a genealogical record of a vast number of families and the books subtitle of a trail through the centuries is a most fitting one although the task of compiling the material was entirely by amateurs they did wisely sek professional advice on the design and general layout of the book the completed volume has proved a justified source of pride boji to those responsible for its produc tion and to the associated families whose descendants are listed there in tlie many favorable comments received from historians and librarians must also convey a con siderable degree of satisfaction to the compilers as well as to those possessing copies of the book mr macrae chief librarian of fort william and president of the ontario library association pro cured a copy for his citys library to serve as he said as an incen tive to other families in showing just what could be accomplished by amateur genealogists the following list of professional opinions might well inspire other families to show their ancestral pride by chronicling all available data on their past generations and also to encourage the committee or their successors of the reesor family history to publish in the future periodic supplements to their present magnificent book i have examined the ree sor family in canada and am glad to say that in my opinion this is one of the best books on family geneology that has been produced in canada with some 5000 descendants of christian reesor to account for the compil ation of this book must have entailed a tremendous amount of research the text is so designed that it is possible to find quickly and easily the relationship of any member of the family witli others 1 particularly like the typo graphic construction the use of columns to the left of the text to indicate the generation to whicli individuals belong and the use of various kinds of type also to indi cate generations the index appears very complete and will be most useful i feel that the committee are to be heartily congratulated on the production of this interesting book g e spragge archivist of ont sect ont historical society toronto ont i should like to congratulate those associated with the reesor family in canada in producing one of the most attractive family histories i have come across hav ing set up in ordinary book form makes it much more easy to handle also the bit of color which lias been added certainly enhances its appearance g e reainan ma bpaed phd fags dept of english

jesting family history of a type all too seldom produced in canada the reesor family in canada should be included in any public librarys reference collection for the reason that it might well serve as a model for anyone wishing to do family genealogical work for the tabulation is simple and effec tive and unlike that often adopted in sucli works lends itself to quick and easy crossreference the
