William Applebie Daniel Eardeley (1870-1935) was one of the most prolific New York genealogists of his time, and much of his work remains unpublished. Following are the subject families of the Eardeley Collection, in the archives of the Brooklyn Historical Society. Each family file may contain any number of pages-from one to over 200. The entries are handwritten and on small slips of paper. A different set of genealogical notes by Eardeley was microfilmed some years ago, and those films are available at the NYG&BS Library. The collection listed below has not been microfilmed and, inasmuch as it is a manuscript collection, the Brooklyn Historical Society does not permit photocopying. Generally, the notes on a family are alphabetized by the first name; therefore, one can find more easily the particular household of interest.
