“A History of the Descendants of Jean Guenon of Flushing, Long Island” contains much genealogical information on the Genung - Ganong - Ganung families. Jean Guenon was probably born in France and as a Huguenot, left France with others of the faith and went to Holland. He was on board the ‘Draetvat’ when it left the port of Amsterdam on April 2, 1657 for New Amsterdam - later named New York. In 1675 he was living in Flushing, Long Island.

The introduction to the book states, “We have traced the family into nearly every state and territory of the United States, the provinces of Canada, into the South American republics, and back to the old world.”
