I have purchased a book THREE GENERATIONS IN 20TH CENTURY AMERICA: Family, community, and Nation by Clark, Katzman, McKinzie, and Wilson. (John G. Clark, University of Kansas, David M. Katzman, U of Kansas, Richard D. McKinzie, U of Missouri-Kansas City, Theodore A. Wilson, U. of Kansas). This book gives family background for the 20th century (1900-1975) for the following families: The BUTLER family of Brookline, Massachusetts The GALE family of New Albany, Kansas The KURIHARAS of San Francisco, Fresno, and Dinuba, California The BRAUER family of Vanderburgh County, Indiana, Jacob REINHARDT The BASSANO family of New York City The O'REILLY family of Boston, Massachusetts The MILLER family of New York City and Providence, Rhode Island The MARKOVICH family of Midland, Pennsylvania Stanko SIMICH The WILLIAM brothers (James & Henry-children of former slaves) of Detroit, Michigan The TRACE family of Wayne county, Tennessee There are other names too numerous to mention that are related to the above families or were of historical significance in the time frame of 1900-1975. This book was written based on personal interviews with family members and gives a lot of history on each family often giving dates of birth, and following the movements of these families for three generations, often going back into the 1800s, often giving information on the immigration and economic situations of these families. There are lots of pictures. There is included a Genealogical and historical summary (chart) of family members. If these families are of interest to you, it would behoove you to check your local library for a copy or purchase a copy if it can be found. The ISBN is 0-256-020900-X. I found mine at my local library book sale. It is well worth the money, whatever the cost. For those who cannot find a copy, I will be happy to do look-ups as time allows. Bea
