This book has been considered by academicians and scholars of great significance and value to literature. This forms a part of the knowledge base for future generations. So that the book is never forgotten we have represented this book in a print format as the same form as it was originally first published. Hence any marks or annotations seen are left intentionally to preserve its true nature.

In the following pages the compiler has endeavored to gather into a conveniently referrecl-to system the information which he has received from many members of the family and other sources, bearing upon the genealogy of the Eddys. Accuracy and completeness have been aimed at; but the field is a large one, and there will be much to add; it is a difficult one. and there will be much to correct; still, it is felt that something may here be found of interest to the members of each branch of the family, and by its perusal many persons who do not find their names in the book may be aided by it in tracing their connection, and thereby fill out the record of their particular branch. The descendants of Kev. William Eddy, A.M., are.here traced down to the present time in the female as well as the male lines, thus giving the compilation a more general character and a correspondingly increased interest. Surely one good purpose will be served by thus systematizing what ancestral knowledge is current-the placing of such in a form which will ensure its perpetuity.

An autobiographical novel about growing up gay in a working-class town in Picardy. “Every morning in the bathroom I would repeat the same phrase to myself over and over again . . . Today I’m really gonna be a tough guy.” Growing up in a poor village in northern France, all Eddy Bellegueule wanted was to be a man in the eyes of his family and neighbors. But from childhood, he was different—“girlish,” intellectually precocious, and attracted to other men. Already translated into twenty languages, The End of Eddy captures the violence and desperation of life in a French factory town. It is also a sensitive, universal portrait of boyhood and sexual awakening. Like Karl Ove Knausgaard or Edmund White, Édouard Louis writes from his own undisguised experience, but he writes with an openness and a compassionate intelligence that are all his own. The result—a critical and popular triumph—has made him the most celebrated French writer of his generation.

Descendants lived throughout the United States. Includes unconnected branches.
