The "Bradt Books"
The most complete source of information about the Bradt family is Cynthia Brott Biasca's 1990 book Descendants of Albert and Arent Andriessen Bradt, in combination with the updating supplements. Cynthia deserves our praise for the years of research she (with the assistance and support of her family and friends) dedicated to bringing together the vast amount of information in her two books, and ancestor charts.
Descendants of Albert and Arent Andriessen Bradt is available from the Higginson Book Company: HIGGINSON BOOKS WEBSITE.
Supplement to Descendants of Albert and Arent Andriessen Bradt,
published by Cynthia in 1993, contains additional lines and identifies Bradts that were previously unknown. It does not replace her original Bradt Book
. Like the other supplements, it is used along with the original book. It is also available from Higginson Book Company.
