Elizabeth Shown Mills

Hardbound Volume totaling 892 pages. Book is in excellent condition.. Per the publisher;

• Updates for citing DAR's revamped website and databases
• Alterations in citations for the DAR website and database
• Immigration citations reflecting changed records at the Ellis Island

website
