Nerison and Bergene Roots and Branches

About the Book

Between Larry and Ethel Nerison, they trace back to over thirty prime ancestors. This book follows lineages down from each of these ancestors to the present generations. Connections have been found to B.C. dates of Scandinavian Kings, the Mayflower, Laura Ingalls Wilder, U.S. Grant and Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Photographs include present generation, ancestors, and ancestral homes and farmsteads on both sides of the Atlantic.

A code number system has been developed to identify each family member which allows the reader to trace ancestral lines. These code numbers enable the reader to instantly calculate the number of generations between family members.
