Magna Carta Ancestry treats all known descents for 17th-century
colonists from the 25 barons who served as sureties for Magna Carta (the
Great Charter), a charter of liberties granted by King John of England
at Runnymede in 1215. It features hundreds of biographical summaries as
well as over 28,000 citations to published materials, making it the most
documented source book of its kind. The formal and extensive
cross-referencing make the text simple to follow. In addition, the book
contains a massive 93-page bibliography--probably the most exhaustive
listing of medieval genealogy and history ever published--a full English
translation of Magna Carta, and an index of over 18,000 entries.

I realize there is no defnitive connection between the American Chitwood
family and the Chetwodes but thought this might be of interest. If
anyone has $100 and wants to buy it--please enlighten us all!
