It is plastic spiral bound book with double-sided printed pages.The family informatin is organized using a genealogy index system and includes an every name index.
The book includes over 400 pages of information concerning Echternachs who first came to Woellstein, Germany in 1684 and who's emigrated to Pennsylvania in 1791 and 1836.It does not include detailed information about the Valentine Luther Echternacht Immigrant of 1829.The book has many details and other factual information concerning the relationship of the Strasburg, Lancaster County Echternachs and the Brechnock Township, Lancaster County, Echternachs. With some family lines there are up to 14 generations represented.
The book also contains European and Lancaster County Maps with appropriate 1864, 1875 and 1899 Atlas segments showing where Echternachs once lived in Lancaster County.At this point genealogist have not found connections between the Woellstein Echternachs and the other Echternach(t)s who came from other places in Germany.So not all Echternach lines are addressed in this book except for a brief one-page presentation of Valentine Luther Echternacht.If you connect with the Lancaster County Echternachs, it is worth having.
