The pedigree and history of the Washington family derived from Odin, the founder of Scandinavia, B.C. 70, involving a period of eighteen centuries, and including fifty-five generations down to General George Washington, first president of the United States
"My position as president of the 'American College of Genealogical Registry and Heraldry' enables me to obtain correct pedigrees and history of foreign families ... My correspondent in London, from whom I have obtained the material for the Washington pedigree in England, is a lineage descendant of the progenitor in England, and has been engaged for over thirty years in gathering evidence ... The uncer- tainty hitherto existing in regard to the English progenitors of the Washington family, which has led to the numberless and fruitless controversies among the genealogists, will be entirely removed and cleared up by this volume. Beginning with Odin, the founder of Scandinavia, B.C. 70, the history is followed down through the Royal line in Denmark in the thirty-two generations to 'Thorfin the Dane,' nat. circa A.D. 1000, whose ancestors were of Schleswig, Denmark. He settled in Yorkshire, England prior to the Norman Conquest. The descent is traced in Denmark and England, from father to son, down through the centuries, including branches in different shires, to John Washington, the great-grandfather of General George Washington, in twenty generations from Thorfin; with interesting personal matter regarding nearly 500 members of the family and their alliances in England and America"--Preface, p. iii.
