Beginning with those who reached or were born in the New World, explore to the starting points in their or their family’s immigrations from the Old Country and beyond to the Germanic roots of these 3 family branches! This book, Volume III, starts with Carrie Dietz – born in Bavaria in 1859, she came to Indiana with her parents in 1867 and moved to Oklahoma late in her life. Using this pedigree format, the researcher can then work back in time to the known origination of these Dietz ancestors. Thirteen generations are included in this volume that spans over 4 centuries. All books in this series provide extensive information about ancestors from personal data (name, gender, birth & death dates and places, religious affiliation and even occupations if known) to timelines with the ancestor’s life events – often authenticated with transcripts from original records. As well, there is some information provided about their families along with pedigree charts for most ancestors and relationship charts between the starting ancestor and all other ancestors included. For ancestors where it applies, a DNA Confirmation section presents known AncestryDNA® matches and gives details about which children passed this DNA to descendants who match to the ancestor they have in common. This can include several generations of offspring from a particular ancestor. Note: The internal links are disabled in this online version and cross-referencing is unavailable.

One might think that a common name such as Brown would lead to an ordinary family. That is not the case for this family. Descended from John Brown and his family, who traveled on board the Mayflower, they descended from the Kings and Queens of Europe and can be traced back to the Merovingian Kings of France and the Sea Kings of Norway. Among the most notable ancestors are John Brown of the Mayflower, Robert Dudley (a favorite of Queen Elizabeth), the Lords of Kerr in Selkirk, Scotland, the Dukes of Northumberland, and the Douglas family. The Colaw/Coler/Kohler family shares the same German ancestors as President Roosevelt and includes the Comte Jean de Graf in Picardy, France.

The first major biography of one of Old Hollywood’s greatest directors. Sometime partner of the eccentric Howard Hughes, drinking buddy of William Faulkner and Ernest Hemingway, an inveterate gambler and a notorious liar, Howard Hawks was the most modern of the great masters and one of the first directors to declare his independence from the major studios. He played Svengali to Lauren Bacall, Montgomery Clift, and others, but Hawks’s greatest creation may have been himself. As The Atlantic Monthly noted, “Todd McCarthy. . . . has gone further than anyone else in sorting out the truths and lies of the life, the skills and the insight and the self-deceptions of the work.” “A fluent biography of the great director, a frequently rotten guy but one whose artistic independence and standards of film morality never failed.” —The New York Times Book Review “Hawks’s life, until now rather an enigma, has been put into focus and made one with his art in Todd McCarthy’s wise and funny Howard Hawks.” —The Wall Street Journal “Excellent. . . . A respectful, exhaustive, and appropriately smartass look at Hollywood’s most versatile director.” —Newsweek
