A scrapbook in which Rowley recorded her genealogical research on her and her husband's families, principally for the family names of Adams, Clark, Knight, Rowley, Easterbrooke, Miles, Herman, Ellis, and Buckingham. The scrapbook includes biographical information and anecdotal narratives concerning the families listed as well as photographs of Rowley's ancestors and their homes, news clippings, and marriage notices and obituaries. While little of Eugenia's life is revealed, the lives of her children are well documented, particularly the World War I service of her four sons. Notes written by later members of her family correcting or verifying her research are included, as is a rough index at the beginning of the scrapbook listing the pages in which each family appears.
