Book cover with various kinds of evidence of family history arrayed around the author and title, the latter is _Lineage:  Genealogy and the Power of Connection in Early America_.  The kinds of materials include printed texts, manuscripts, a red book (shhhhh that figures largely in the Introduction!), a watercolor family record, Fraktur, gravestone, and a sampler.  One repeated text says "born free, born free (etc)"
