This book is the result of and a back lash from my first efforts in doing a family genealogy, 'Adcock kinfolks -- families and ancestors' (a great deal of it being used in this book). It is a collection of the direct blood line of my granddaughter, Jennifer Adcock Whitney.
"The present compilation lists not only American and English works but also holdings of Canadian, Irish, Welsh, Scottish, Australian, Latin American, Polish, German, Dutch, Scandinavian, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and Asian sources. It includes all the entries from the Family Name Index, the 60-drawer card catalog located in the Local History and Genealogy Room of the Library of Congress"--Editor's note.
