Noteworthy Families (Modern Science) An Index to Kinships in Near Degrees between Persons Whose Achievements Are Honourable, and Have Been Publicly Recorded

"Noteworthy Families (Modern Science)" by Francis Galton is a research publication that probably came out a long time ago, focusing on the family ties of important people, especially scientists and others who've done great things for the world. It's like a big index showing how these families are connected, trying to figure out if success runs in the family. The beginning of the publication tells you why it was written which is to keep track of families that have had multiple successful people. Galton talks about how they collected information, mostly by asking people from the Royal Society, and some issues they had getting all the details. The authors highlight how families play a part in creating successful people and how a family’s background helps people become outstanding.
