The Hollister Family Of America

A vivid portrait of a family’s place in early New England. Genealogy comes alive in print. By Wallace Case, The Hollister Family Of America traces Lieut. John Hollister of Wethersfield, Connecticut, and his descendants, presenting genealogical detail alongside local context. As an American genealogy book and a finely realised family history collection, it serves as a trusted colonial ancestry reference for those studying early Connecticut families and the wider sweep of New England settlers. Genealogy researchers and local historical organisations will find an invaluable historical society resource here for Wethersfield Connecticut history and for tracing hollister family descendants through generations of records. The volume illuminates links that reach into 17th century America and connects to Mayflower era families in the broader network of New England genealogies. More than a register of names, its careful arrangement of lineage and civic detail gives historians a persuasive window into colonial life and community formation. Accessible in tone yet rigorous in method, it bridges the needs of casual readers who enjoy family narratives and classic-literature collectors who prize authentic, heritage titles. Rich with names, dates and local traces, this book rewards both the curious and the committed. Its methodical lineages and cross-references support serious enquiry without losing readability. For the shelves of historical societies, local museums or private libraries devoted to New England, it is both a practical reference and a quiet treasure. Its language and organisation reflect the scholarly standards of an earlier era, so the book is as interesting to students of bibliography as it is to anyone tracing family roots. Seen together, these elements make The Hollister Family Of America a durable cultural resource for anyone fascinated by the lived experience of 17th-century New England. It invites curiosity and careful study.Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
