Genealogists and Historians researching royal descendants have found this work to be extremely helpful. Browning's "Americans of Royal Descent" is considered a standard on royal genealogy, containing 213 pedigrees, which outlines the lineal descent of hundreds of American families from European Kings and Queens. The information presented has been developed primarily from recognized authorities, privately printed family histories, and pedigree manuscripts to which the author had access. The indices contain approximately 4,000 surnames, with thousands more individuals documented within the content of the book. Many of the entries include dates of birth and death, marriages, information on the spouse, occupations, as well as other information. Paper, (1891), repr. 2011, Index, 732 pp.
