  • Source Notes
      The original manuscript is in Boston at the New England Historic Genealogical Society, with copies at Salt Lake City and Philadelphia at the Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania.

      George Andrews Moriarty, perhaps the man most responsible for bringing scholarly genealogy to America, compiled a set of notes tracing the complete known ancestry of Edward III of England and his wife Philippa of Hainaut. He died before he became satisfied enough with the material to think that it merited publication, but did deposit copies at (IIRC) Harvard, the New England Historical and Genenealogical Society, and at Salt Lake, from which these notes are available on film.

      About a decade ago, an unscrupulous patron photocopied the entire thing, and published and sold it himself without permission of the NEHGS, which holds the copyright. So now copies about, even though they are without legitimate standing.
