Finerans Across America

Ottsville PA: Mary Whitney Inc, 1988. Hardcover. Unpaginated quarto in 11x8.5 inch dark blue leatherette boards decorated with a generic image; about 150p., illustrated with b&w period images throughout (familiar graphics showing US immigrants in general). Caveat Emptor: a reader will find only a single leaf, situated midway, listing 'Finerans' found by Whitney, gives first names, middle initial, city & state of residence with street address. The great bulk of the item in hand simply instructs the purchaser how to go about finding more persons named Fineran. Book is in good clean shape, with one or trivial pencillings within. Research tool, the (truncated) (boastful?) title here close to fraudulence. Finerans, by the way, are English and Scots, with America receiving a preponderance. (Inventory #: 325150)
