15 Generations of Whipples is outstanding for it abundance of family information and the scope and richness of its historical content.  One can hardly imagine a more thorough or carefully written family history.

Volume 1 is an edcation in itself as it traces the Whipple story over nearly 500 years of English and American history.  Each of its 18 chapters includes end notes that add depth and flavor as well as detailed family records.

Volumes 2 and 3 contain an astounding amount of genealogical information organized by generations.  Included are approximately 24,000 individuals, 4,500 surnames, and 3,200 places beginning about 1510 in England and ending in 2005 in the United States.  Included are 250 pictures and illustrations and voluminous end notes with detailed sources and definitions.

Volume 4, includes 865 pages of both genealogical and historical indexes which helps readers easily find their way through the first three volumes.  It also includes a massive bibliography of sources.  Malone’s Schryer Center for Historical and Genealogical Research is fortunate to have this resource available for family researchers.
