Book Cover & Preview Text
However, that is not the case with this series. THE PEACH GENEALOGIES is designed to major on genealogy, the “who-begat-who” type of thing. The history has already been written in my previous works. Therefore, there will be little effort to repeat the content of these books. Rather, to get the most out of this book, you need to use this in conjunction with other ones I’ve written.
With this book, for instance, you should read it along with The Peach Tree Handbook, Vol. II, Southern Maryland Branch and The Peach/Peachey Migrations, 1066-1990. Both these volumes are still in print and can be obtained from me directly. THE PEACH GENEALOGIES is also about the Southern Maryland Branch. But since that book was published in 1988, three new sub-branches - the Pittsburgh, the Indiana and the Washington - were discovered and need to be officially added to this significant tree. Furthermore, when the Handbook was written in 1988, nothing was known about the birthplace and family of immigrant ancestor, Joseph Peach. Now, for the first time it will be revealed both his parents and grandparents identity and show his heritage on the Isle of Wight in England.
What gave me the burden for this series is the fact that I am sitting on thousands of pages of genealogical records, many of which never have been published. I am overwhelmed by the thought that these need to go into print as soon as possible. They are your records - not mine - and need to be shared with all those concerned.
Therefore, if this book is a success, then more will follow in the near future. Don’t look for photos and maps and documents ad infinitum in this book. But rather focus on the relationships you share with over 1000 descendants from one common ancestor.
Several new features in this book I hope you will appreciate are found in the back of the book. One is the Relationship Chart, showing how each of you are related to the Southern Maryland Branch as a whole. And then to add to this feature, in the index you will find the relationship of each individual to their immigrant ancestor, Joseph Peach.
I only hope you enjoy this book as much as I did in putting
it together. My greatest joy has come in getting to know so many of you as we
have shared our research with each other. Each time I have written a book in
the past, I feel like it will be my last. However, I complete this book only
anxious to write the next one. Thanks so much for all your help and encouragement
to those who helped make this a real pleasurable experience.

About the Author
In 1983 he began “The Peach Tree Project” - now nineteen years ago. This soon led him to publish a newsletter called “The Peach Tree”, which still goes into homes four times a year throughout the world. The “Project” involved the gathering of all known materials about the Peach and Peachey genealogy for the purpose of sharing them in publications with others. It has included eight national Peach reunions in all parts of the United States.
This is the sixth book published by this author. The others include:
THE PEACH TREE DIGEST, 1985 (now out of print)
THE PEACH TREE HANDBOOK, Vol. I, South Carolina Branch, 1986
THE PEACH TREE HANDBOOK, Vol.II. Southern Maryland Branch, 1988
THE PEACH TREE HANDBOOK, Vol.III, Marblehead Branch, 2000
THE PEACH/PEACHEY MIGRATIONS, 1066-1990 A.D., 1991
He has also produced a video of the English history of the noble and powerful Peach ancestors, descendants of William de Peche I in England from 1066 A.D. entitled THE PEACH HERITAGE TOUR, 1990.
