I am not really a genealogist, but my grandfather spent the last three decades of his life tracing down his roots in the Peden family.His immediate family came from Union City, Indiana, but he was a researcher and contributor to a book published in the early 1970s "The Pedens of America".I was still a teenager at the time when he showed me the book, and it reminded me of "War and Peace", "Les Miserables", and other similar works (i.e., similar based on weight and thickness).My grandfather's name was Clarence W. Peden, the former General Manager of the smelting division of Alcoa in Pittsburgh, PA.
