This volume continues the story of the American family started in the 18th century by John Broome and Rebecca Lloyd in New York. A street in New York City, a county in New York State, and a town in New York are named for John Broome.

Volume II contains the stories of the 6th and 7th generations of the Broome family up to the 21st century; plus there are histories for multiple generations of related families. Volume II also contains the source endnotes for all of the generations of all of the families in both volumes, and the bibliography for both volumes. (Each volume has its own Index.)

In addition to the Broome family, Volume II has stories of the families of Allen, Calnon, Dolan, Farley, Faulkner, Geiss, Hallowell, Judge, Keyworth, Laughlin, Livingston, Nevins, Orme, Reidy, Riley, Schereschewsky, Schilling, Schwarz, Toole, Turk, Vagliano, Valley, Velasquez, and many more; and, in Ireland, Breheny, O´Gara, and O´Hare. Photographs of some individuals and family homes are included.

See where and how these families lived — the wealthy and those of modest means. Get public glimpses into private lives.


About the Author

Letitia Broome Schwarz grew up in New Jersey and worked in New York City. She obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree, summa cum laude, in history. Her interest in history, particularly in the 18th century, has continued to the present time. Extensive traveling in the eastern coastal states from Maine to Virginia has enabled her to visit many historic sites multiple times. Her interest in family history started as a young adult and developed into years of research. Barbara Broome Semans enjoys problem-solving – she has a B.S. degree in math. So it was only natural that her interest was aroused by her sister’s research. Barbara’s interest developed into many years of extensive family-history research and travel to most of the places discussed in this book.
