Book Synopsis
This genealogical guidebook tracks the 250-year journey of the Hulme-Vierk-Walbrecht-Pinneo families from their western European roots in England, Germany, and France to their homesteads on farmland in central Nebraska. Detailed biographical sketches bring to life first-hand accounts of life on the Nebraska plains and the strong family ties binding these farm families to their Old World ancestors. A forty-year collection of data, personal interviews, photographs and documents, this resource follows thirteen generations of direct lineages from Jeanette Arlene Hulme to her 11th great-grandparents, William Brewster and Maude Mann. The collection is a time capsule of photographs, documents, and personal memorabilia including autographs, gravestones, and obituaries—a treasure trove of first-person recollections of Hulme family history providing a personal glimpse into their lives.
