The Rudolf family can be traced back to Leonard Christopher Rudolf (1710-1784), who emigrated from Germany to Nova Scotia in 1751, and helped to found the town of Lunenberg two years later.
An undated photocopy of a manuscript entitled 'History of my Great-Grandfather, written by himself', comprised of handwritten copies of Rudolf family documents, 13 pages. It begins with the autobiography of Leonard Christopher Rudolf, followed by a list of Rudolf's descendants and a family tree. The manuscript was presumably written by one of the children of L.C. Rudolf's grandson William after 1886, the last date to appear.
The provenance of the collection is unknown.
