I have come across a copy of the Family Book written by Margie Rae Dean Firth d/o Leo L. Dean and Margie Lois Ferrin. I would like to get it back into the family's hands. It was written in 1991 and is over 500 pages long, tracing her family back to the 1600's. This is the same book that is in the LDS library. All I ask is the cost of shipping the book. If you belong to this family and would like the book, please contact me at nmjodie@yahoo.com. I will only give it to a family member. If I do not find a family member who wants the book I will donate it to our local genealogical library.

I have not found anyone that this books should go to so I have decided to donate it to the Special Collections Library (Genealogy for Rio Grande Public Library System) in Albuquerque, NM. You can ask them or the Albuquerque Genealogical Society to check for names in the book.

Dear Joleen,
I have only just seen your post on Ancestry. I do not know anything of the Firth Family Book you mention but my mother was a Firth. Is there any way that I can access the book to see if any of my ancestors are connected ? I live in Perth, Western Australia.

My mother was Eunice Firth b.1906 Oldham,UK. d.1995 Perth
Her father was Arnold Firth b1874 Duckinfield, Cheshire
His father was Joseph Firth b.1839 Broadbottom, Cheshire
His father was George Firth b.1812 Penistone, Yorks.
His father was Joseph Firth b.?? Gas maker of Stalybridge.

Other family members can be found on the 1881 England census:
Joseph at 67 Foxdenton Lane,Chadderton,Lancs.
brother William at 63 as above
brother Albert at 4 brunswick St, Chadderton + father George.

I would love to hear from anyone connected with these families.
regards, John
