In over 300 densely packed, oversized pages (including 140 index
pages), members of the Greater Omaha Genealogical Society have

grooms, plus their parents and witnesses.
This book traces the history of the Fitzhugh Family of
Bedfordshire, England from the first Hugh and his wife Joyce, who
were living in 1223 and from whom the family name derives, down to
William Fitzhugh the Immigrant (1651-1701) who founded the Fitzhugh
Family of Virginia. For the first four centuries it draws upon the
work of the late Terrick V. H. FitzHugh, a noted genealogist. The
latter pages of the book continue from William's son John in an
unbroken line to the present author. There are 509 pages, 152,000
words, 778 footnotes and endnotes, a synoptic summary, 21 pages of
family trees, 14 maps, 16 illustrations, and 47 photographs. A
total of eleven Appendices discuss subjects such as the correct
Coat of Arms of the Family, the Fitzhugh China Pattern, family
sites in Bedfordshire, and the relationship of our Family to the
Barons FitzHugh, the Magna Carta, and other Fitzhugh families. A
full index is provided.
