Genealogical research material on the Young/Jung family and other families who have connections with the Youngs. Other families include the Garcelon, Thornton, McKenzie, Pomeroy, Smith, Wyman, Reid/Reed, Ludwig, Hopps, Leach, Gould, Cottrell, and McFarlane families among others. Information on the Youngs and these families comes in the form of birth, death, and marriage records, vital statistics, tombstone transcriptions, census data, directories, wills, family trees, narrative histories, and land records. Melvin Chase followed his family's line throughout Charlotte County, various U.S. States including California, Massachusetts, Louisiana, Maine, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Texas, Nebraska, Washington, Wyoming, Nevada, and Iowa, as well as Germany and the Alsace region of France. Mixed in with the research material are correspondences with Young family relatives and professional genealogical researchers abroad, with inquiries about certain individuals or branches in the family. Note that there is a summarized version of all research into a book labeled "Eight Generations of the descendants of Jacob and Rachael (Ferguson) Young".
