KIN is the third book of Byrd family history by this author, following Traveling Companions: The Byrd Family of Mt. Olive, Mississippi, and Oaks of Righteousness. This book focuses on the stories of various families who were joined to the Byrd family through marriage, thereby becoming roots to the Byrd family tree. Some of the families are ancestors of Nora Brown Byrd and some are ancestors of Edward Leavell Byrd, the parents-in-law of the author. The purpose of this book is to provide a sense of history and appreciation for family members from the past. It is hoped that children and grandchildren as well as various siblings, nieces, nephews, and others will find strength for their branches of the family tree from the roots of these ancestors.

The Byrd family is said to have come to England with William the Conquerer and settled in and around Chester. There were at least four to six major Byrd families who immigrated to America in pre- revolutionary days. Most of the Byrds settled in Virginia but a few settled in North and South Carolina. The numerous descendants of these original families live throughout the United States.

John Byrd (ca. 1675-1716) moved from North Carolina to Virginia before 1697. Descendants lived throughout the United States, but chiefly in the southeast and midwest.

During his presidency, Jimmy Carter received a comprehensive analysis of his family's genealogy, dating back 12 generations, from leaders of the Mormon Church. More recently Carter's son Jeff took over the family history, determined to discover all that he could about his ancestors. This resulting volume traces every ancestral line of both Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter back to the original immigrants to America and chronicles their origins, occupations, and life dates. Among his forebears Carter found cabinet makers, farmers, preachers, illegitimate children, slave owners, indentured servants, a former Hessian soldier who fought against Napoleon, and even a spy for General George Washington at Valley Forge. With never-before-published historic photographs and a foreword by President Jimmy Carter, this is the definitive saga of a remarkable American family.
