    3. Some weeks back I promised to find the address for ordering a book from The American Geneological Research Institute. I finally found it. ADDRESS (copyright @ 1973) The American Genealogical Research Institute 1501 Wilson Boulevard Arlington, Virginia 22209 Library of Congress Card Catalog Number is 72-93050 CONTENTS preface 1.family name and arms 2.ancestral emigrants 3.census of 1790 4.patriots and veterans 5. short biographies 6. constructing the patterson family tree 7. appendixes 8. research and reference sources in the federal government 9. research and reference sources in the United States 10. hereditary and patriotic societies in the United States. I am assuming that the address is the same as then. There is a page with Arms of Evan Paterson of New Jersey, and of Walter Patterson of New York. It has a triangular (sort of) shield, atop that is a knight's helmet, atop the helmet is a nest containing a large bird feeding its young. (some say it is a pelican but it doesn't have the large lower beak) There is a drape behind the shield. On the shield the nest and large bird and the young birds in the nest are repeated 3 times. Other arms are also listed in the book. Have to go now for errands but hope you find this interesting. And to the person who requested the address. Forgive me, but at least I did eventually find it. (smile) It was in amongst some telephone books behind the doors in the telephone stand. Elizabeth Why there?? I have no idea.
