Americans of Jewish Descent Genealogy Reference

Title: Americans of Jewish Descent: A Compendium of Genealogy
Author: Stern, Malcolm H.
Description: 307 pp. (Oblong folio) 11x16¾, blue cloth. Second Edition.Reprinted from the 1960 limited edition. "In a modest way the American Jewish Archives has set out to fashion the basic research instruments necessary to further the science of American Jewish history. In the historian's tool chest, there are few utensils more helpful than genealogist tables. These tables will help illuminate almost every document of early American Jewry, for they reveal relationships never before suspected and shed light on obscure references that up to now have baffled the most skillful of researchers. The rise of communities will be documented here; the interplay of intramarriage between Jewish natives and Jewish newcomers will be visible on every page. Here, most graphically, one can trace the assimilatory influence of intermarriage, and notice, not without irony, the unbroken line that leads from a Polish Jewish immigrant peddler to an American ambassador to one of the Great Powers".
