From the Introduction:
??This book is a first attempt to establish a framework for answers to the most fundamental questions about the Linder surname. Where did it originate? What does it mean? Where and how did it spread? How many Linders are there today? Where do they live?
I hope the incomplete answers and vague clues given here will both inspire and help direct further research. Most Linder genealogists and family historians are properly concerned with the limbs, branches and twigs of their individual family trees. This book attempts to establish an overall Linder framework and context for their efforts. This is a first description of the Linder forest, large, mysterious, difficult of access and shrouded in the mists of history, but offering great rewards for its explorers.??

This book will provide a wonderful resource for information for Linders seeking the meat to go on the bones of their Linder Family Tree. It will be of particular benefit to the genealogy buff who already has learned the basic structure of their family tree, but long to give it some historical perspective or to bring alive some of the real Linders who lived before our time. It feels like you??re reading about your own 15th and 16th century ancestors, how they lived, their marriage customs, their occupations, how frequently the plagues of Europe claimed their children before they reached adulthood.
One of the most exciting portions of the book for me was reading the details of how the Linders of Saanen participated in the purchase of the land from the local feudal lord, the Count of Gruyeres. That vignette brings to life the actual conversion of the European fiefdoms of Switzerland from the feudal system to one of small private land ownership.
Of interest to those descendants of Simon Linder b. 1680 are several articles on the history of the Linders in the Saanen area of Switzerland, including articles on associated early surnames, the effect of the black death plague on everyday life between 1600 and 1850, on emigration to the Pfalz (Palatine) and North America. An extensive collection of local church records are also cited.
The year by year listing of all of the immigrants listed in the various reference books is a real boon to anyone doing genealogical research. I??ve been working on my family genealogy for 14 years and this book is unique in its attention to detail. Harold says he??s been gathering material for this book for over 25 years, but says that he??s only captured the highlights of Linder history in this book. The time and devotion he has spent in analyzing the data and making sense out of it where there were only individual fragments before, is the beauty of this work. Although the author makes no claim to have uncovered all of the information on one surname, I??ve rarely seen as scrupulous attention to detail. It must have been a labor of love. the way it has been presented allows the reader a breadth of information that will allow him easily to delve deeper for more. And the writer has provided accurate references as well as the library he located them in in order to assist the serious genealogist in his work. Travel to Switzerland and Salt Lake City may be cost prohibitive to some seeking more information, but most libraries will mail a few pages from a book for a nominal cost if you know the exact location of your reference.
This book spans a time of 737 years of recorded history.
The Linder Sourcebook includes over 300 references to Linders in Europe before 1600, the present distribution of Linders throughout the world before 1600, information on 13 Linder lines and their origins, a chronological list of all Linder immigrant to America (over 1200), illustrations of 19 Linder coats of arms and a list of almost 200 Linder place names.
The Linder Sourcebook will be a standard reference for anyone interested in Linders for many years. It will probably change forever the way you think about he Linder surname. It includes translations of several German documents that give the English-only reader a solid introduction to early Linders in Europe.

Description: Reserching Information On a John R. Dickens.
INDIAN NAME: KOSKY or KOSKG or ROSOKEY, Rahsokey
THE DAILY MOBILE PRESS MARCH 25, 1885
DEATH OF AN INDIAN CHIEF.
JOHN R. DICKINS, OF DICKINS' FERRY.
On Monday, John R. Dickins died at his residence at Dickins' Ferry
on Dog River, about twenty-five miles from the city.
John R. Dickins was,and has been,for a score more years familiar to
the eyes of every man, woman and child in and about Mobile.
He was made conspicuous by his eccentric peculiarities which display
themselves in a strong desire to practice the habits and customs of
the Indians even while living in a civilized and intelligent
community. His life was an eventful one, and fraught with many
incidents and adventures of greater magnitude than are met with in
the lives of most men; but little is known,however,of the details
of his life.
He was born in Georgia about 70 years ago. From Georgia he went to
Texas,and it is believed that it was there he was first thrown with
the Indian tribes with whom he afterwards became identified.
He went to the home at which he died several years before the war.
He was a frequent visitor to this city, and always attracted attentio
by his attire,which was the full dress of an Indian, consisting of
buckskin coat with breeches and leggins of the same material,
ornamented with beads and a buckskin cap,set off with feathers.
It has been his habit to vist to Indian Territory where he would
devote several months to visiting the different tribes and looking up
his friends. One peculiarity of these vists was that he would leave
home without the knowledge of his family, who never knew of his
whereabouts until his return. At the time of his death he held the
title of chief of the tribes.

Description: Mary Nyhan born in Emly Tipperary May 20th 1888. Father Timothy and mother name unknown. Had 8 brothers and one sister - names unknown. Mary left Ireland following marriage to Ernest Hewett (British soldier) and he was in the sherwood Forester Reg. stationed at Chapel le Firth, Derbyshire. He then joined Royal flying Corps and she joined Women's Royal Flying Corps. He then went as PE and Carpetnry master at Eagle House School, Crowthorne, Berks. They also ran and owned the Duke'sHead Public House, Little Sandhurst, Berkshire until he died in 1922 when she remarried (1923 Jan 20th) in Redhill to Henry Wareham. I am seeking relatives of both Mary Nyhan and her family in Emly - cannot trace as she left home at 18 and never had contact with the after then. Plus information re Henry Wareham and his relations in Feltham and Shaftesbury. also Ernest Hewett - an orphan I understand who may have been born in Derbyshire about 1888 or so. Mary's mother was related to Lady Mountmorres (de Montmorency) and also Sir Michael O'Dwyer assassinated at Caxton Hall, London 1940. Am trying to find the family links to Mary Nyhan and trace relations still living. Am writing a book on our family history.
Surnames: Nyhan, Hewett, Wareham, De Montmorency (Mountmorres) of Emly tipperary, Ireland. O'Dwyer.
