About This Item
Indianapolis: Ye Olde Genealogie Shoppe, 1986. Hardcover. 4to. Black buckram with gilt lettering. v, 463pp. Illustrations, maps. Near fine. A tight, attractive first edition of this family genealogy, tracing in exhaustive detail the lineage of Michael, John and Cjhristian Schwartz from 18th century Germany on up through 20th century Indiana, with many American stops along the road. Signed in full by Eberhart large but quite tremulous in black ballpoint at the opening of Part I (page ii). Like most family genealogies, this too was likely printed in a very small quantity for private distribution among family -- who tend to hang on to them for dear life and bring them to the grave, thus accounting for their scarcity.
