Genealogy of the Balch Families in America

This is an excellent family history of the Balch Family of Massachuestts beginning with John Balch who came in 1623 with the Georgs company to establish a settlement near what is now Beverly and Salem. Dr. Galusha B. Balch did exhaustive research in authoring this genealogical record. The book was published several years ago by Higginson or Salem, MA, but it can now be viewed and saved to one's computer as a .pdf file at http://www.archive.org/details/genealogyofbalch00balc.
This book also contains some information on other Balch families that could not be connected to the Massachusetts line. It turns out that many of these Balches were of the Maryland Balch line.
