Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Memorials of the Wesley Family
George John Stevenson · 1876
72/100
👍 Worth It
This is genuinely impressive work - 250 years of Wesley family history and a 900-year lineage table, compiled by a respected historian and still freely available today. It reads like a reference book, not a story, so don't expect a page-turner. But if you care about Methodist history or genealogy, this is the real deal.
