Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of the Lent (Van Lent) Family in the United States, Genealogical and Biographical As time rolls on changes take place that we never dreamed of. Today family history and tradition are the prevailing topics. Realizing the family of Lents to be a large and patriotic one, the author and publisher of this work attempted to collect information on the Lent family. After about seven years or more of hard work, entailing a large expense collecting the necessary information - both biographical and genealogical - to warrant the publication of a work of this kind, it is now submitted to the reader for his criticism. The family is one of the most widely extended in the United States. This fact made the preparation of the work very difficult. This being the first Lent family history ever gotten up, made it a still greater undertaking, but "where there´s a will there´s a way." So after working diligently and energetically, tired often, discouraged at times, we kept at it. Finally the information came in rapidly, and this gave us new vigor, and at last we came off victor. Several persons had undertaken to publish a book of the Lent Family, but after a time they gave it up. It was too hard an undertaking - the work covering the very long period of two hundred and sixty-five years. As we perused the time-worn leaves from the old records, an impression was left upon our minds that can never be forgotten. To know the hand that rocked the cradle of our ancestors, handled the pen that wrote the signature some two hundred years ago! Some of the names in Dutch had to be interpreted, while others were clear and plain in English. If our forefathers could but arise from their long slumbering places of abode, and know the great multitude that have lived since their time, they would be amazed. The name was originally "Ryck Abrahamson," who took the name of "van Lent." The van signifying of or from the land of Lent in Holland.
