"The Truax / Truex Genealogy Project"
compiled by Jennifer Smith and Anita Bradford, edited by Jennifer Smith
(soft cover, spiral bound)

The most complete genealogy of the Truax family ever compiled. This five volume set covers all known Truax / Truex / Trueax descendants of Philippe du Trieux, as well as unplaced groups and unrelated groups of the same surname. Each volume includes name and place indexes, maps, photographs, and much more. The first volume covers the first five generations of descendants from Philippe du Trieux, plus a master index for all five volumes. Subsequent volumes start at the fourth generation descendants, and are generally divided by geographic area (if you would like to know which volume your ancestors are included in, please contact Jennifer Smith, or check the chart here).
