The Sterling Genealogy (Volume I)

Across centuries and continents, one surname threads through parish rolls, ship manifests and town records: Sterling. Names, dates, journeys, lives remembered. In The Sterling Genealogy (Volume I), Albert Mack Sterling gathers a vast surname family history reference into a single, carefully arranged narrative of the Sterling lineage in America, grounded in its Scottish and English ancestry.As a foundational genealogical reference volume 1 in this classic series, it traces branches of the family from their Scotland and England origins into New England family genealogies and outward across colonial and early America. Compiled in the early twentieth century, it preserves documentary traces and family traditions that might otherwise have vanished. Drawing on local records, family papers and earlier regional compilations, Sterling organises lines, marriages and migrations so that patterns of settlement, kinship and inheritance become clear, offering indispensable context for colonial American family roots. Long recognised by genealogists and researchers as an essential Sterling family genealogy book, it serves both as a working tool for ongoing research and as a richly detailed chronicle for Sterling family descendants and anyone building an American family genealogy collection.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.
