Since the publication of this book, I have continued my research into the history of the Ebbets family. The "Ebbets Addenda" will be an occasional publication to provide updated information to the history of the Ebbets family of New York. The first edition of this publication is now available here as an Adobe Acrobat Reader PDF file. Click here to view this publication: Ebbets Addenda
