This genealogy of The Berg & Larson Families from Telemark, Norway to America was so large, it was split into two volumes. The first volume describes the Sigur Larson family on the Jonsaas farm about 1800 in Sauherad, Telemark, Norway. One of the daughters Anne married Halvor in 1814 and they lived on the Berg farm which was a small part of the Jonsaas farm. In 1851 the widow Anne Sigursdatter Berg age 68 and three of her five grown children, Kari, Halvor, and Peter Berg immigrated to Muskego, Wisconsin (near Milwaukee). Anne died of cholera shortly after arriving and the three children then moved to the Long Prairie Norwegian Settlement in Boone County, Illinois. They were joined by a fourth sibling, Sigur Berg, and his family in 1853. While in the Long Prairie Settlement the Bergs met Soren Larson from Seljord, Telemark, Norway and his two children, Margit and Halvor. Two of the Bergs married the two Larson children so all the Larson descendants in this book are also Bergs: Halvor Berg married Margit Larson in 1855 and Kari Berg married Halvor Larson in 1856. By 1863 the three brothers, Sigur, Halvor, & Peter Berg and their families had moved to Fillmore County, Minnesota and their sister, Kari, and her husband, Halvor Larson, had moved to Winnebago County, Iowa. The third generation of Norwegians migrated to western Minnesota, North Dakota, Idaho and Washington. The second volume will describe the fourth and fifth generations.

The First Census of the United States (1790) comprised an enumeration of the inhabitants of the present states of Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, and Virginia. Unfortunately, during the War of 1812, when the British burned the Capitol at Washington, the returns for several states were destroyed. However, the census records for New York survived and were available for this 1908 publication. In March 1790, New York had a population of 237,946, out of the Nation's total population of approximately 3,920,000. The information provided in this census includes the Name of Head of Family, the number of free white males of 16 years and upward in the household, the number of free white males and under living in the household, the number of free white females, all other free persons, and the number of slaves. Populations are also recorded for Towns and Counties.

Thomas Webster was born in Ormesby, England, and came to the New World as a child. His wife, Sarah was born in New Hampshire. Their descendants started in New England and migrated west as the frontier opened to these pioneers. This book covers twelve generations consisting of 452 descendants extending across 400 years. This exceptional work is presented in the Modified Register System and has been compiled mostly from primary sources. It includes lots of interesting historical background and, when possible, extensive biographical sketches of some of the more prominent Webster descendents. The great U.S. Senator and Secretary of State, Daniel Webster, was a descendant. There are also five Mayflower Pilgrim family connections: Dr. Samuel Fuller, Capt. Myles Standish, John and Priscilla (Mullins) Alden, and Henry Samson. In addition, there are several veterans of the Revolutionary War and the Civil War. Names are indexed for easy reference; women are indexed by both their maiden and married names. There are eight photographs, some dating from the 1860s; and five maps. Dale Douglas Webster researched his genealogy for over twenty years. In addition, he hired professional researchers in New England. Heritage Books has published five of his books over the last seven years. The initial book was on the Webster line. This book is a significant expansion of that book as he discovered more descendants. He has also had articles published in the Mayflower Quarterly and the Journal of the Sons of the American Revolution.

This book contains a detailed history of Pittsylvania County, Virginia, which traces its early settlement, growth, and development, as well as many of the individuals responsible for the County's progress.
