The First 400 Years - Bales in America

Surname/tag: A Family Genealogy

I completed my long research and production of this 100+ page Bales genealogy and mailed it to all close family. It took me from approximately 1973 to compile the information and check and recheck its accuracy. The entire genealogy was sent to the National Archives in Washington, D.C., where a copy resides to this day.

Although my Aunt Mildred Deicken (Bales) has died since the publication, it was her nudging that prompted me to complete it. Many members of our family also provided me with photos.
