Janet-
In 1904, Frank Best wrote The Amidon Family, a privately-published history that traces us back to about 1637.This book used to be accessible only by visiting a research library such as the Newberry Library in Chicago.Now you can buy the book from various used bookstores.Les Amidon also has a copy you can download from his Web site (http://members.aol.com/lesamidon).Or, you can let me know your email address and I can send you a copy.It's in a Word format.You can reach me at [email protected]
A lot of us amateur Amidon genealogists got started with the Best book, but be aware that, like lots of family histories like it, it contains some erroneous/dubious information.Still, it's a good place to start. It does contain information about your ancestors.
