Henry Conrad (ca. 1740-1801/1802) probably immigrated from the Palatinate of Germany to Hagerstown, Maryland, later moving to Harrison County, Kentucky. William Conrad (1797-1882), a grandson, married Elizabeth Boyers (a first cousin), and lived in Grant County, Kentucky. Descendants and relatives lived in Kentucky, Virginia, Missouri, Ohio, Wisconsin, Montana, Indiana, Kansas, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Arkansas and elsewhere.

This ten-year supplement lists 10,000 titles acquired by the Library of Congress since 1976--this extraordinary number reflecting the phenomenal growth of interest in genealogy since the publication of Roots. An index of secondary names contains about 8,500 entries, and a geographical index lists family locations when mentioned.

John Collins (d. 1810) married Jemima (Bowen?) and had at least 10 children.

This work embraces about 1,200 sketches of 19th-century York Countians. Most sketches include a variety of genealogical and biographical data.
