MAGAZINES

1. The Peery Genealogy
   Data obtained by Edwin Howe Peery and Joseph Stras Peery, arranged by Miss Annie Lynch; The Utah Genealogical and Historical Magazine , Volumes VIII-1917, IX-1918, X-1919 (Salt Lake City, Utah: The Deseret News Press, 1917-1919), with Indices.
   
   The largest collection of organized Peery genealogy known to that time and may be still. Independent research done by the two compilers was done over many years. Both EHP (Columbian University '18xx [now George Washington]) and JSP (Yale University '1895) were attorneys. Edwin Howe Peery [1856-19xx] of Denver, Colorado, turned over his entire collection of 3,600 names, gathered over fourteen years, to Joseph Stras Peery [1868-1946] of Salt Lake City, who independently had extensive Peery family records, collected from his youth. Both are descendants of James Peery #1. Annie Lynch combined and arranged the data in Salt Lake City, Utah.
   
   Considering the extensive collection of information from many sources, it can be expected that some errors or omissions will be found in this huge collection. Nevertheless, it is based upon reliable efforts of dedicated persons who have made it possible for "The Peery Genealogy" to be published.
