Notable Kin, Volume Two treats royal descents of 30 tycoon families (including Morgans, Rockefellers, and Vanderbilts); "fun" ancestors of numerous folkloric figures and Hollywood actors, actresses, directors, writers and composers; and much of the known, and some conjectured, ancestry of the three major icons in mid-20th century popular culture (Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, and Elvis Presley). Mr. Roberts also covers notable descendants of Northern New England and Rhode Island immigrants with royal forebears, and offers a genealogical tribute to the late Diana, Princess of Wales.
