This book is a transcription of the 1930 population census of Guam.
It begins with an overview and some observations of the census in
general. Each census page contained is simply a transcription from
what was handwritten and into a type written format. It serves as a
tool to make it a little easier for fellow genealogy researchers
during the course of their work.
Who are we, and where do we come from? The fundamental drive to
answer these questions is at the heart of Finding Your Roots, the
companion book to the PBS documentary series seen by 30 million
people. As Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. shows us, the
tools of cutting-edge genomics and deep genealogical research now
allow us to learn more about our roots, looking further back in
time than ever before. Gates's investigations take on the personal
and genealogical histories of more than twenty luminaries,
including United States Congressman John Lewis, actor Robert Downey
Jr., CNN medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta, President of the
""Becoming American Institute"" Linda Chavez, and comedian Margaret
Cho. Interwoven with their moving stories of immigration,
assimilation, strife, and success, Gates provides practical
information for amateur genealogists just beginning archival
research on their own families' roots, and he details the advances
in genetic research now available to the public. The result is an
illuminating exploration of who we are, how we lost track of our
roots, and how we can find them again.

"The descendants of William Warriner have furnished soldiers for
all the American wars, from the Colonial times to the present, and
have been well represented among the pastors of several
denominations, Congregational, Presbyterian, Episcopal, Baptist and
Methodist. ...The original ancestor of the New England Warriners
joined the settlers of Springfield, Mass., in 1638. His birthplace
and ancestry are unknown. That England was the land of his nativity
is probable beyond all doubt." A full-name index completes this
well researched work.
