I believe I found the "Ancestral McCurdys" book in the

Church of Latter Day Saint's Family History Library.

You can view micro-film copies from that Library at

a nearby LDS Family History Center. Most centers will

also let you print paper copies of microfilm pages for

a fee. The "Ancestral McCurdys" book is about 42 pages

long.

Here is list of McCurdy family books I compiled from

the California Digital Library and the US Library

of Congress catalogs, and some of the notes are for my

branch of the McCurdy family. I have not seen or hold

most of these books. I just compiled the list.

McCurdys of Nova Scotia. London: Published for F.B. McCurdy by the Covenant

Pub. Co., 1930.

Blanchard, H. Percy. The ancestral McCurdys, their origin and remote history.

London: The Covenant Pub. Co., 1930. The MacCurdy or MacReuda clan were

early inhabitants of the isles of Bute and Arran, Scotland. This book includes

family history from Chief Gilkrist Makurerdy (1420) to about 1820 and family

claims to Royal descent: a. the marriage of Donald McCurdy to Peggy Cameron,

a "great-granddaughter of King James IV of Scotland" (p. 26); b. the Stewart

of Bute lineage from Robert II, King of Scotland, to Margaret Stewart,

"a relative of James II of Scotland", daughter of Charles Stewart of Ballintoy,

Ireland, and wife of Petheric McCurdy, one of four brothers who fled from

Scotland in November 1666 (p.32); c. Prince Reuda of Ireland, founder of

the MacCurdy or MacReuda Clan, who settled a colony of Scots north of Clyde,

Scotland, about 258 (pp. 6, 8-9, 12), and d. the lineage from Heremon,

"first of the Mahol or Scots to sit on the throne of Ireland" and his wife,

"Tea Tephi, daughter of King Zedekiah, the last of the Royal line of Judah"

and a ward of the Prophet Jeremiah, to Prince Reuda (pp. 11-12). (For details

about the Stewart of Bute line, see Hewison, 1893, v. 2, p. 152ff)
