| During the decade of World War I, the Lewis Historical Publishing Co. produced a number of multi-volume sets of genealogical and biographical essays covering families living in different regions of New York State. For the work at hand, Genealogical and Family History of Southern New York and the Hudson River Valley, the Lewis Company in 1914 turned to Cuyler Reynolds, genealogist, historian and the then curator of The Albany Institute and Historical and Art Society. Employing the same winning formula utilized in the Cutter volumes, Mr. Reynolds assembled this copiously illustrated collection of 500 essays devoted to distinguished families resident in the southern portion of New York State. Most of the essays begin with an explanation of the geographical origin or derivation of the familys surname, with many of them going back to the 16th or 17th century. Reynolds then traces the line forward from the oldest known ancestor to the principal subject of the essay. This is followed by a detailed biography of that person, often with his photo, as well as an enumeration of collateral lines related to the principal subject. The index at the back of the volume identifies some 3,500 descendants of the main families listed below, which, in the aggregate, constitute a unique and previously inaccessible source of Southern New York and Hudson River Valley genealogy.

| Clearfield Company continues its assault on the prodigious output of New York State genealogies produced by the Lewis Publishing Company at the beginning of this century. Previously we have reprinted four volumes pertaining to Central and Western New York compiled by William Cutter and three volumes on Southern New York by Cuyler Reynolds. We are delighted to reprint Mr. Reynolds four-volume series of Hudson-Mohawk Genealogical and Family Memoirs at this time. In presenting memoirs of some 600 families of the Hudson-Mohawk Valley region, Mr. Reynolds employs a formula that will be familiar to persons who have consulted the other collections of genealogies published by the Lewis Publishing Company. The work begins with a brief Introduction in which the compiler recounts the regions historic importance in the French and Indian War and in the Revolutionary War. There is also a special section on regional topography and the legislative origins of Albany County, in particular. Mr. Reynolds then devotes a separate essay to each family beginning with the venerable Van Rensselaer, Schuyler, and Livingstone families. Most of the family essays begin with an explanation of the geographical origin or derivation of the familys surname. Mr. Reynolds or one of his associates then traces the line forward from the oldest known ancestor to the principal subject of the essay. This is followed by a detailed biography of that person, often with his photo, as well as a breakdown of collateral lines related to the featured descendant. The index at the back of the final volume of the set identifies some 7,500 descendants of the main families in the work. The 600 principal families featured herein are listed next and, given the areas historic role as a colonial haven for Dutch, English, and Palatine German immigrants, this work promises to offer genealogical clues to a wide range of researchers.
