What are they? Are you kidding? They are THE starting point for
genealogy for the Swartwout Family, regardless of the spelling! While they
aren't totally complete or accurate, they provide an excellent reference for
those born prior to 1899. Estimates are that it is missing 25-30% of
the Swartwout descendants when it was published in 1888. If you don't find
the individuals you are looking for in here, you'll need to contact me
or Mary Rindfleisch or Kathy
Hoeldke to see if they've been added to the corrections or additions that
we've been working on. Kathy
Hoeldke's web site contains a great deal of Swarthout family trees. Read
the Preface for the background.
Census of the Swartwout Chronicles
I am in the process of doing a Census of the Swartwout Chronicles. Do you have a copy? Does one of your cousins have one? There were only 100 copies printed and it would be nice to learn how many of them are still in existance. Please, let me know if you know the location of an original!
