John W. Shine started his search in an attempt to find the origins of his family name. The information he was able to find was vast, and surprisingly detailed. What started as a personal quest finally lead John to compile this book so that others may add to the information and continue to create a complete history of the family Shine.


You will learn how John collected information by drawing reference from "History of the Shinn Family" by Mr. Josiah H. Shinn and other written work, writing letters to those he could find with the same surname, and searching through public data including final wills.


John also explains the various challenges faced, including destroyed and incomplete records and changes in the spelling of the family name over time.


Whether your surname is Shine and you wish to find out more about your lineage, or you are interested to learn about the process and challenges involved in creating such a genealogy, this is an essential read.
