Books or papers relating to specific family lines ----------

The following sources (or copies of them) are mostly in the personal possession of the Alfred Bingham family of Salem, Connecticut or of Douglas K. Bingham of Edmonton, Alberta. Principal family lines referenced are indicated in BOLD UPPER CASE; my own comments, notes or abbreviation used within the database usually appear between [square brackets].

"The Brewster Genealogy 1566-1907: A record of the descendants of William Brewster of the 'Mayflower', ruling elder of the Pilgrim church which founded Plymouth Colony in 1620",compiled and edited by Emma C. Brewster Jones. 2 vols, numbered copy #498, Grafton Press, New York 1908.

[Abbrev. as "Brew Gen" or "BG"]

[only the direct Brewster ancestors of Alfreda Mitchell and Hiram Bingham III have been entered from this book]

[Abbrev. as "Chronicles..." or "CCF", this incredible book has recently been reprinted (2002) by the Salem Land Trust]

[The entire Christophers and Mumford genealogical charts from this book have been entered and the Woodbridge chart has been checked and verified (most seemed to have been in the database already having come from the original WOODBRIG.GED file; where data conflicts between the two sources, the "Chronicles..." data has been used, as generally its information is more complete; such inconsistencies are indicated in the individual notes); miscellaneous additional information has been gleaned from the text.]

[Abbrev. as "Woodbridge Record" or "WR"]

[much of this information seems to be already in the file having originated in the original WOODBRIG.GED file, though generally the file is less complete than the book; only the direct ancestors of Lucretia Mumford Woodbridge have been carefully checked against the file]

Bingham, Harrisburg, Pa. 1898, Edition limited to 300 copies, No. ___ [unnumbered].

[much of the Bingham information contained in the original BINGHAM.GED file appears to have been abstracted from this and the following three works; I believe all individuals in these books are contained in the BINGWOOD files; however, only a portion of these files have been posted on the Internet]

Updates which include additional information and corrections have been published annually since 1997 by the Bingham Association (19 E 72 Street, New York, NY 10021)]

[besides descriptions of the Thomas Bingham homes in both Norwich and Windham, Connecticut, this pamphlet includes pedigree charts with 17 more generations of direct Bingham ancestors than are given in the above sources or elsewhere (except cf. VANCE.GED above). These apparently tie into the Melcombe Binghams. The earliest Bingham is listed as John Bingham, b 972]

[This facinating chart belongs to Margery Glasier (deceased 2002) of Edmonton who acquired it from her father (she does not know its original origin); it purports to show that Queen Elizabeth II is descended from Judah and the House of David. It is a remarkable genealogy showing on a single sheet much of the present British royal family's very complex ancestry through various other royal families of Europe. Where it can be cross checked, this chart generally agrees with other sources. Unfortunately, in places the connecting lines are ambiguous and sometimes the print is too small to be read (it is not well printed)]

  [The author of these charts is presumabley Ralph Emerson Forbes (1866-1937). Since corrections were done in 1943 they must have been done by someone else; in fact, some of the later information is clearly written in a different (though similar) handwriting.
