In addition to an exhaustive genealogical listing of descendants of each family and a general history of Oceda, this hardbound book (320 pages, 6" x 9") is illustrated with diagrams, maps and copies of historical documents. The extended Gourdin-Gourdine family includes more than 100 surnames - all with origins in South Carolina. The book is fully indexed with more than 2,700 names of family members from seventeen states - with the greatest concentration in states along the Atlantic Coast from Florida to New York. All of this is printed on archival paper, preserving this "family treasure" for many generations.
