| Pearsall Genealogy Books History and Genealogy of The Pearsall Family in England and America, by Clarence E. Pearsall and Hettie May Pearsall, 1928, is a three volume set that recounts the family history in America, England, and back to Norway and Rognvald, Earl of Mere. Volume 1 pp 1-556; vol 2 pp 557-1178; vol 3 pp 1179-1806 includes Contents and Index. While the all important immigrant generation has been questioned for accuracy (see the article below), this is still an impressive and valuable resource for our family. Where to buy it Doris Pearsall [Note: We have purchased a set from Doris and are very pleased with it. It seems to compare very favourably with a 1928 set viewed at the Sutro Library in SF and actually contains some improvements over the original. It is also of markedly higher quality than the photcopied reproductions which some booksellers produce and sell for a higher price. -TB] |
| The Fabulous Pearsalls "The Fabulous Pearsalls," by Herbert F. Silversmith and Arthur S. Wardwell, published in The American Genealogist, Oct. 1941(?), is a rather scathing article that questions claims made by C.E. Pearsall concerning Thomas Pearsall and Mary Brent as immigrant ancestors of American Pearsall families (see home page). |
