)R. ANDREWS has had extensive 
 experience in his profession, 
 and enjoys a reputation and 
 clientele that are national 
 in scope. Having been in 
 attendance for several years 
 in the Historic and Genea- 
 logic Department of the 
 
 Newberry Library, Chicago, (the largest of its 
 
 kind in the country), he has had exceptional oppor- 
 tunities for research and for a thorough knowledge of 
 his profession. He is compiler of over thirty family 
 histories. In the pursuit of his investigations he 
 has collected a quantity of very valuable genealogic 
 notes referring to several thousand families of Eng- 
 lish lineage — much of this data being secured from 
 family records, accessible to the historian but not to 
 the public at large. He is thoroughly familiar with 
 genealogic books and their contents from daily use 
 and handling, and keeps in touch with all new pub- 
 lications, hence he knows HOW TO SEARCH and 
 WHERE TO FIND. In addition to his large private 
 collection of books and MSS. he has expert corres- 
 
 pag* 0tx 
 
pondents throughout the East and in Great Britain, 
 and is therefore in a position to guarantee to his 
 clients the BEST SERVICE OBTAINABLE. Such special 
 commissions as require the most exhaustive research 
 Mr. ANDREWS will undertake personally at the 
 eastern or foreign libraries.

 ^SPECIALTY is made of the prep- 
 aration of Family Histories, 
 containing the direct ancestry 
 of the present descendant on 
 all branches as far back as can 
 be traced. MR. ANDREWS 
 is the originator of this style 
 of genealogy, and his work 
 has attracted considerable attention in the East. 
 Data is arranged according to families, with charts 
 showing descent. Authorities are given in full for 
 every statement. MSS. are typewritten on What- 
 man's hand-made paper, heavy weight, rough edges, 
 each page eight and one-half by eleven, embellished 
 with illuminated initial letters, bound in vellum, levant 
 
 Page spfatti 
 
or oozed goat-skin, and illustrated with reproductions 
 from photographs, etc., and with Coats of Arms em- 
 blazoned on parchment (where proof of right to such 
 insignia is well established). Each MS. contains all 
 that can be found of the present descendant's direct 
 ancestry, from parish registers, wills, letters of admin- 
 istration, records of births, marriages and deaths, con- 
 veyances of land, town and church histories, state ar- 
 chives, published genealogies, etc. Under each family 
 is given a description of the Coat of Arms, Crest and 
 Motto, an account of the origin of the name and 
 family, a history of the foreign branches, a biogra- 
 phy of the emigrant to this country, and lastly, the 
 lineage in a direct line to the present descendant. 
 Hence the records are as complete as can be made, 
 and no effort is spared to make their presentation clear 
 in style and artistic in form. As the researches 
 embodied in each MS. are represented by months, 
 and sometimes years, of work, the worth and rarity 
 of the volume will be appreciated. Such a book 
 will be a lasting memorial to one's forefathers, and 
 will hand down to posterity a veritable legacy, in- 
 creasing in value and fascination as the years roll 
 by.

 R. ANDREWS cordially invites a 
 call at his studio and an in- 
 spection of his work. To 
 those who reside at a dis- 
 tance he can arrange to for- 
 ward sample MSS. for ex- 
 amination. He is compiler 
 of over a hundred foreign his- 
 tories, more or less complete, notably the following :

 been engaged for several years 
 upon the MATSON GENE- 
 ALOGY, which will soon be

 "Andrews' Genealogic Charts" for library use, and

 EMBERS of Historic and Patri- 
 otic Societies will be inter- 
 ested to learn of the estab- 
 lishment of a Department of 
 Special Research, under the 
 direction of MR. ANDREWS, 
 for investigating American 
 
 $agr trtt 
 
lineages and collecting proof of descent from Colonial 
 and Revolutionary ancestors. Arrangements can be 
 made for a special search of any town, church, county 
 or state records. Applications filled out for admis- 
 sion to Mayflower, Colonial Wars and Revolutionary 
 Societies. THE SOCIETY OF MAYFLOWER DES- 
 CENDANTS in the State of California will be or- 
 ganized during the year 1904. All who desire to 
 become charter members are urged to communicate 
 
 with Mr. Andrews at once.

 i>R. ANDREWS has devoted sev- 
 eral years to this profession 
 in connection with his gene- 
 alogic work. Having studied 
 under Carqueville and Goudy, 
 in Chicago, he understands 
 not only the ART of heraldic 
 designing, but the SCIENCE 
 which underlies it. In a large majority of cases it 
 will be found that American families have " borne 
 arms," and that there are means of establishing the 
 
 flag? eUben 
 
fight to bear Arms, though this right, through the 
 vicissitudes of fortune or the restless ambition of 
 ancestors, may have been lost sight of. A Coat of 
 Arms is valueless unless the descendant's right has 
 been verified and careful researches made to estab- 
 lish the history and significance of the armorial 
 bearings. Hence heraldic designing requires more 
 than mere artistic talent in its execution. In every 
 case MR. ANDREWS will guarantee the correct 
 drawing of the arms, and, if desired, will give a 
 certificate properly endorsed by reliable eastern of 
 foreign authorities, testifying to the correctness of 
 the blazon and naming the family to which it prop- 
 erly appertains. 
 
 ^9 PEDIGREES handsomely lettered and with Arms 
 in colors, done on parchment, are attractive subjects 
 for framing. These will be furnished after the Eng- 
 lish style.

 family Coat of Arms, or in keeping with the client's 
 literary or artistic tastes.

 T IS FREQUENTLY impossible to 
 give any definite estimate as to 
 expenses connected with se- 
 curing certain data, but an ap- 
 proximate estimate can be fur- 
 nished and a limit for expenses 
 can always be agreed upon. 
 
 Mr. Andrews assures his 
 
 patrons that his prices will be as moderate as is con- 
 sistent with reliable work. In researches for admis- 
 sion to Patriotic Societies the charge for a prelimin- 
 ary search is Ten Dollars, and this alone is often 
 successful. A verified Coat of Arms in colors can 
 be furnished for Ten Dollars and upward; and an 
 illuminated Pedigree Chart on Parchment for Fifty 
 to One Hundred Dollars, according to size. Foreign 
 researches are more expensive. An extended British- 
 American Family History traced out on maternal 
 as well as paternal lines, and arranged as a bound 
 MS. with charts and illuminations sells as high as 
 Two Hundred and Fifty to One Thousand Dollars, 
 dependent on the difficulty in proving connections 
 between the several generations. It frequently costs 
 
 page tljiri?*n 
 
several hundred dollars in foreign fees alone to secure 
 abstracts of records referring to a trans-Atlantic 
 lineage, while the compiling and preparation of the 
 volume may easily absorb several months' time. 
 
 <# Mr. ANDREWS cannot undertake any investi- 
 gations on a contingent basis. He has to employ 
 many searchers and they require payment even if un- 
 successful in finding any data desired. 
 
 \? In special commissions a retaining fee is expected. 
 
 >? All business is strictly confidential. 
 
 ^? Payment for all work is due upon tender of de- 
 livery. Data furnished can be verified afterwards as Mr. 
 ANDREWS always quotes authorities, and guarantees 
 that his MSS. shall be satisfactory, and complete 
 as it has been possible to make them. If connections 
 between the several generations have been proved by 
 abstracts from historical documents, the MSS. are to 
 be considered "satisfactory and complete," and his 
 remuneration due at once. But that his patrons may 
 satisfy themselves in advance of his ability to decipher 
 old records as well as his reliability in presenting the 
 data found, Mr. ANDREWS refers by permission to 
 the following prominent people throughout the 
 United States :
