Nelson M. Baker 19th Century Genealogist - A Family Album

This non-fiction compilation is a treasure trove for aspiring genealogists and for professionals pursuing the Baker line.

Nelson M. Baker published the Genealogy of the Descendants of Edward Baker in 1867. To this day, that volume is the definitive genealogy for the descendants of Edward Baker. This volume is a group of Carte de Visite of Nelson M Baker and his siblings, his parents, his father's siblings, and his grandmother on his father's side. These images come from a satchel that was in the attic of the Baker homestead in Lafayette, N.Y. and were turned over, in the 1970s, to the local historian, J.Roy Dodge. He held onto the satchel waiting for any descendant to reach out to him. Editor Jonathan W. Baker connected with Mr. Dodge accidentally, by calling the Lafayette Public Library and was put in touch with Mr. Dodge, who graciously allowed him to copy and publish this book.
