Fitz Randolph: Traditions, a Genealogy and Family History of a Thousand Years

Originally published in 1907, this genealogical study was compiled by Lewis Van Syckel Fitz Randolph to document the historical lineage of the Fitz Randolph family. The work traces the family's origins in Normandy and their subsequent migration to England and eventually North America, where they became prominent in early colonial settlements, particularly within the Society of Friends. It serves as a foundational text for researchers tracking the family's migration patterns across ten centuries.

The volume is recognized for its extensive use of primary records, including birth, marriage, and land grant documentation. While not designed for aesthetic appeal, its utilitarian structure reflected the turn-of-the-century interest in ancestral pride and the Victorian-era trend of recording lineage through meticulously researched family chronicles. The work remains a standard reference point for genealogists interested in the New Jersey and New England branches of the family tree.
