Genealogical Table and History of the Springer Family, in Europe and North America, for Eight Centuries e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. There has been no time since the settlement of our country when the public mind has been so deeply interested in genealogical research as it has been for the last half of a century. A growing disposition has sprung up during that time, among all classes, to make inquiries concerning the past, and to search for records as for hidden treasures. The national, state, town and church archives are searched with the greatest of care and assiduity and compelled to surrender the treasures which for ages, and even centuries, have been locked up in their musty embrace. Individuals on almost every side are ransacking the homesteads of their fathers to acquire materials for biography, to settle questions respecting the genealogy of their ancestors, and for genealogical record. The memories of tradition of their more aged relatives are sometimes most severely taxed to fill up some vacant record.
