ALBRIGHT: John Albright, Carriage-Maker (Softcover)
by Florence G Gordon. 1993. 92p
This book provides insights into the history of the Albright family, focusing primarily on John Albright, a carriage maker, and his descendants. The content is a blend of genealogical exploration and historical context, offering a glimpse into the lives and times of the Albright family across generations.
The narrative begins with the challenges faced by the author in compiling the family history, noting the absence of traditional family records such as Bibles or documented lineages. This absence necessitated a reliance on oral histories and personal recollections, particularly from family gatherings and discussions. The Albright family did not keep extensive written records, which was a common practice in families that were not deeply rooted in church traditions.
