The Fullertons, Fullingtons, Fullartons (and other spelling variations) of North America

This work has evolved over the years and has migrated from a single volume to now 6 separate volumes containing all the information the authors have accumulated on the Fullerton (and other spellings) family lines.

  • The early volumes included references to both Gordon Woodbury Fullerton, Jr (linked profile), and Lillian Claribel Benjamin Chauvin as co-authors of the work, but later editions show only Gordon as the author, presumably because by 1990, Lilian would have been 95 years old and might have died by then.
  • Early editions are listed with no publisher named and later editions list "Polynesian Dynamics, Inc., Honolulu, HI." Gordon writes in the forward of the later editions that he is printing the works on his personal computer's printer, but some hard-bound copies are also seen, which appear to have been made available to libraries and other research locations.
  • Gordon mentions in the 4th and later editions that each printed copy may be different since he typically prints a new copy of the work for each order, thereby including any corrections or alterations in that copy.
  • Gordon also mentions that most genealogists are mainly interested in their particular line of descent, so he enables buyers of his publication to purchase just their specific line or "clan" as he calls them. That greatly reduces the cost and it also creates custom-printed versions that may be found over time.
  • Gordon descends through "Clan 05" found in volume 1 of all editions.
  • The 8th Edition printed in 1999 may be the last version published as a full set of volumes. Gordon would have been 74 years old but did live until 2019 (94 years old), so he may have either stopped publishing new editions or only printed the custom single clan versions for customers.

Personal note

As I (Kent Smith) was reading the details of Gordon's Forward information from his 6th edition, Volume 1, I was tickled to see the reference to his use of the 80MB Hardcard II in his computer system, as that was a product of Plus Development, one of the early companies I worked for in my career, where I was a sr. technical support representative and quite possibly might have spoken to Gordon over the phone if he ever had any questions about using that product in his system.
