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.
Blanchard, H. Percy. Genealogical record & biographical sketches of the
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)
