The following book review was written by Bobbi King:
Plantagenet Ancestry: A Study in Colonial and Medieval Families
Douglas Richardson, author, and Kimball G. Everingham, editor. (Salt Lake City; 2nd ed., 2011). Three volumes, more than 2200 pages, indices of people and events.
These volumes document the lines of descent for over 200 seventeenth-century North American colonists from the Plantagenet dynasty that ruled England from 1154 to 1485. The first family described is that of Geoffrey Plantagent himself, offering forty-six pages of his royal descendants families. Thereafter, the chapters are alphabetized by surname. Each volume contains its own index of people and events.
This is an enormous work. The introductory pages well describe the scope and purpose of the tome, the organization of the ancestral lines, and other items of essential points that aid the reader in deciphering the facts and notes.
