From the Library
NEW FAMILY HISTORY VOLUME
CCGS recently received a copy of the newly completed family history book, Slaughenhoupt Family History 2020. The book was donated by the author, Evan Karns Slaughenhoupt, Jr. It is a hard back book with very nice print, charts and photographs. The book covers a “300 year American” story of 50 ancestors over 9 generations. In addition to the Slaughenhoupt family, other surnames include Yingling, McClure, Fruit, Pollock, Hilliard, Burford, Kern and more.
The author includes a bit of local history and family stories in discussing his ancestors. There is also a chapter covering his own life. The book is nicely done and is very interesting reading. We are very grateful to the author for his donation to CCGS. Be sure to stop by and look at the book the next time you are in the library. It is filed on the shelf with the Family Histories.
