About This Ebook Edition

This large manuscript was never published during Dr. Walther Barnard’s lifetime because it never became a “proper” family history book. In addition to several carefully-researched narratives, Dr. Barnard searched for every Barnard-surname reference he could find throughout the New England area, and entered those notes into a series of Microsoft Word documents that became this manuscript.

Much of this material looks like it was transcribed from stacks of index cards (organized by person), because that is precisely what this is. Decades of Dr. Barnard’s searches are collected here for your reference.

This same material is on the free companion website genealogy.ewbarnard.com. Please do use the website for searching, following lines of ancestors or descendants, and so on. Each web page shows which volume of this book contains that individual or family.

Provenance. Dr. Walther Barnard provided written publishing permission to the now-defunct Strong Family Association of America, of which I was the final Historian, and to me personally during our visit to Village of Barnards in western Pennsylvania. This photo was taken by myself, Edward Wayne Barnard, on August 5, 2007.
