Record of Family Faculties. Entries in family bibles, old letters, and the numerous miscellaneous documents which are treasured up in families, often give most valuable assistance in genealogical inquiries. It is quite impossible in a brief space to describe the many documentary records that may exist concerning any person. Among these are School registers, those of matriculation at the Universities, polling books, directories, the army and especially the navy registers. It is very probable that the main facts of the career of any given person who is known to have resided in England and to have been alive within the present century can be traced, if pains be taken to search for them. Brothers and Sisters of Direct Ancestors. The twelve pages that follow p. 15 are similary arranged to those which have just been described, except that more of their heading is left to be filled up in pen and ink. The number of brothers and sisters of each of the fourteen kinds of ancestors is variable, and the completeness with which their history is likely to be known is so different, that it is impossible to prepare more methodical tables for their entry without great waste of space. If the writer wants more pages, he can interleave them; and he need not copy the various questions upon them, but only their numbers. A little further on are more compact sets of Tables for the same purposes. They are s[acute accent over 'o') arranged that the entries of the brothers will be separated from those of the sisters. It will have been observed that a similar separation of the sons from daughters has been made elsewhere. There are good reasons for this: first, it prevents the possibility of a mistake in sex; secondly, the data concerning males have ultimately to be separated from those concerning females-thus, it would be absurd to mingle the heights of brothers and sisters to deduce an average from them; thirdly, there is a considerable tendency in heredity to follow sex, the males of a family often having a prevalence of some one characteristic, and the females a different one. Summaries. Blank forms are given that admit of being variously filled; they are arranged on the same principle as the Index to 12 [end]
