A Genealogical History Of The House Of Yvery In Its Different Branches Of Yvery, Luvel, Perceval, And Gournay (Volume I)

Across centuries, titles rise and fall, but the families behind them leave a deeper imprint. Every name carries a story. A Genealogical History Of The House Of Yvery (Volume I) opens the intricate record of the Yvery, Luvel, Perceval, and Gournay lines, tracing their fortunes from medieval English nobility into the heart of British aristocracy lineage. Compiled in the eighteenth century by James Anderson, this noble family genealogy book stands as a monumental attempt at a complete genealogical history of one distinguished house, illuminating alliances, successions, and the shifting landscape of power. An indispensable historical reference volume for perceval family history and house of Yvery genealogy, it speaks equally to family historians and genealogists and to readers drawn to the human drama behind coats of arms.Rich in the language and methods of eighteenth century genealogy, Anderson's work offers a rare window onto how lineage was recorded, argued, and celebrated in its own age. For anyone building a genealogy reference collection or curating a library of classic historical works, it is a natural Burke's Peerage companion and a valuable peerage and baronetage reference, bridging archival learning with narrative insight. Whether approached as a source for specialised research or as a leisurely exploration of ancestry and identity, it rewards both careful study and curious browsing.
