This compilation contains 85 pedigrees and a number of charts showing lineal descent from the kings of England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and France of hundreds of members of the National Society of the Colonial Dames of America and of the Order of the Crown. In addition to being members of these two societies, many of the Americans whose lineages are included in this work were members of the various state societies of the Colonial Dames. Further, many ladies were connected through marriage, and their descents are shown in the numerous footnotes appended to the pedigrees, thus establishing many lines not hitherto published.
