“best of the best”
For more than half a century Genealogical Publishing Company and its sister company, Clearfield Company, have been the leading
publishers of genealogical reference books, how-to books, and manuals. Both companies publish reprints and originals, as well as CDs,
and together they have published more than 2,000 titles in the combined fields of genealogy and local history.
Keeping pace with the changing technologies in the field of genealogy and in book publishing in the past several years, we have
expanded our website so that today it is a comprehensive list of every title our two companies carry. At the same time, we now offer more
and more of our titles as print-on-demand, so that many of the titles on our website are permanently available. Over the next couple years,
our hope is to have almost all of our titles available as print-on-demand, eliminating the frustration of having much-wanted titles temporarily out of print.
In past years our annual catalogue of books and CDs was meant to be a complete listing of all of our titles in print at that time, excluding
those titles currently out of print. Now that our website provides a complete listing, it is no longer necessary to compile and print a thick
catalogue, knowing that over the course of the year some titles would go out of print and become temporarily unavailable.
With all this in mind, we have shifted our annual catalogue’s focus, making it a listing of our “best of the best” titles. This year’s catalogue
contains the most popular and trusted, tried-and-true titles in each category, and we offer them here as a composite of the most respected
and most sought-after titles in the fields of genealogy and family history.
For a complete listing and full descriptions of all the books and CDs that our two companies offer, please visit our website at
www.genealogical.com.
How To order
In the catalogue, GPC books are identified by the letters “GPC” followed by a series of numbers, while
Clearfield books are identified by the letters “CFC.” Books with the letter “W” following the series of numbers are Genealogy Warehouse books, all of which have been reduced in price by at least 40%.
The order form at the rear of the catalogue will ask for either the GPC or the CFC number, with other
identifying information. If you are paying by check or money order, please make payment to genealogical.
com. Orders may also be placed by phone or fax, or you can order at www.genealogical.com.

CONTRACTS. A Primer for Genealogists,
Writers & Researchers
Sharon DeBartolo Carmack
Sooner or later, every
researcher, writer, or
teacher must struggle
with one of the following
issues: Do I need permission to use some­thing off the Internet?
Can I reproduce a
newspaper obituary on
my ancestor without
permission? How do I
know whether something is in the public
domain? Does copyright
protect my website? Can
I publish my ancestor’s
diary without anyone’s permission? Is my lecture
or lesson protected by copyright? If I write something for my genealogical society as a volunteer,
who owns the copyright? Do I need permission
to download GEDCOM files?
This easy-to-understand guide answers all
these questions, explaining copyright laws,
rights, and publishing agreements and how these
apply to genealogists, writers, and researchers.

THE BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO USING
TAX LISTS
Cornelius Carroll
This guide is a primer for making the best genealogical use of tax lists. The author differentiates between tax lists, quit rents, tithables, militia
lists, censuses, and similar records and the laws
that applied to them. He demonstrates how tax
lists can be used for determining parentage, birth
and death dates, indentured servitude, slavery,
manumission, and racial status. They can be
used, in conjunction with other records, to help
determine the parentage of a female, the date of
a marriage, migration routes, and the accuracy of
family traditions.

SUSTAINABLE GENEALOGY: Separating Fact
from Fiction in Family Legends
Richard Hite
This book explains how
to avoid the traps many
family historians can fall
into. Whether it’s a proud
family legend, a venerable
publication, or the claims
of an Internet family tree,
Mr. Hite demonstrates that
many are the treasured
family stories that have
fallen under the lens of
careful research in primary
sources and DNA testing.
Here are a few of the
lessons that can guide you in your research:
recognizing when identical surnames conceal
different nationalities; understanding when and
why death certificates can be wrong; knowing
when ancestors’ middle names are not family names; respecting the role of geography in
establishing ancestral ties; taking the genealogies
of 19th-century “mug books” with a grain of salt;
accepting that all relationships must be chronologically plausible.

Judy Jacobson
This work is a collection of first-hand experiences, do’s and don’ts, and privileged information. The author emphasizes the importance

kinds of alternative sources of genealogical information that researchers may fail to consult.
This second edition features a new chapter on
the records of lineage, hereditary, and other
special organizations.

HISTORY FOR GENEALOGISTS. Using
Chronological Time Lines to Find and
Understand Your Ancestors. Revised Edition,
With 2016 Addendum Incorporating
Corrections to the 2009 Edition by Denise
Larson
Judy Jacobson
This work consists of
specific historical time
lines that answer basic
questions about our
forebears. For example,
if you are trying to learn
when your ancestors left
one place for another, it
would be helpful to ask if
it had to do with a military
conflict, social injustice,
religion, disease, economic
hardship, or a natural
disaster. No matter what
the explanation, the author has a time line that
could lead to the explanation.
Mrs. Jacobson dissects American history into
scores of time lines: the Industrial Revolution,
American immigration, the Labor Movement,
technological changes, internal migration
patterns, epidemics, the history of each of the
50 states, and, in brief, for the rest of North
America, Europe, and much, much more!

THE RESEARCHER’S GUIDE TO AMERICAN GENEALOGY. Third Edition
Val D. Greenwood
In every field of study there is one book that rises above the rest in stature
and authority and becomes the standard work in the field. In genealogy
that book is Val Greenwood’s Researcher’s Guide to American Genealogy.
It is the text of choice in colleges and universities or wherever courses in
American genealogy are taught, and it is the one book that is consistently
praised for setting a standard of excellence.
While it instructs the researcher in the timeless principles of genealogical
research, it also identifies the various classes of records employed in that
research, groups them in convenient tables and charts, gives their location,
explains their uses, and evaluates each of them in the context of the research
process. Designed to answer practically all the researcher’s needs, it is both
a textbook and an all-purpose reference book—a singular combination that
makes it the book of choice in any genealogical investigation.
This third edition incorporates the latest thinking on genealogy and
computers, specifically the relationship between computer technology (the
Internet and CD-ROM) and the timeless principles of good genealogical research. It also includes a
new chapter on the property rights of women, a revised chapter on the evaluation of genealogical
evidence, and updated information on the 1920 census.

UNDERSTANDING COLONIAL HANDWRITING
Harriet Stryker-Rodda
The author has developed a simple technique
for reading colonial handwriting. Here she
presents examples of colonial letter forms and
script, showing the letter forms in the process
of development and marking the ways in which
they differ from later letter forms. She also
provides a comparison of English and American
handwriting and examples of name forms and
signatures, all to bear out her central thesis,
that the reader must find meaning in a group of
symbols without needing to see each letter of
which the whole is composed.

AMERICAN PLACE NAMES OF LONG AGO.
A Republication of the Index to Cram’s
Unrivaled Atlas of the World as Based on the
Census of 1890
Gilbert S. Bahn
This is an index of over 100,000 place names
of “every county, city, town, village, and post-
www.genealogical.com
office in the United States
[showing] the population
of the same according
to the Census of 1890.”
This index was prepared
from the 1890 U.S. census
before it was destroyed. It
is of critical importance to
the genealogist because
most genealogical research
takes place on the county
level, and in Cram’s index
all 100,000 places—large
and small—are tied to
a specific county. Each
entry, in alphabetical order within states, gives
the place name, the county in which the place
is located, and the population of the place at the
time of the census.

OLD SOUTHWEST GENEALOGY RESEARCH
Dorothy Williams Potter
The Old Southwest consisted of territory east
of the Mississippi, including Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi, and parts of Louisiana and Florida.
Settlers arriving from the Atlantic colonies were
required to obtain passports for passage through
this country, and after the Revolutionary War,
settlers holding land were required to file proof
of ownership. Thus an entire body of records

EVIDENCE! Citation & Analysis for the
Family Historian
Elizabeth Shown Mills
Evidence! is a reliable
standard for both the correct form of source citation
and the sound analysis
of evidence. To quote the
author, “Research, evidence,
citation, and analysis are
inseparable. Evidence is
the vehicle that moves our
research from curiosity to
reality. Citation and analysis
are the twin highways that
get us there, smoothly and
safely. Evidence! . . . offers a road map for beginners, who hope to avoid mistakes, and guideposts for the advanced, who already appreciate
the need to map their own course precisely. . . .”

Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc. & Clearfield Company
can serve as ‘proof.’ No one

Ms. Mills suggests three
ways to arrive at ‘proof’:
evaluating the source, evaluating the information, and
evaluating and processing
the evidence. Ms. Mills also
provides a “Process Map

established on the principle
that sources provide information from which we
identify evidence for analysis. A sound conclusion may then be considered ‘proof.’

AMERICAN POPULATION BEFORE THE

Evarts B. Greene & Virginia D. Harrington
This is an exhaustive
survey of the population
lists, estimates, and statistics
that were produced in the
American colonies before the
first federal census of 1790.
The population lists, which
are of paramount importance
to the genealogist, include
poll lists, tax lists, taxables,
militia lists, and censuses,
and were originally drawn up
for purposes of taxation and
local defense. Gleaned from archives in Britain
and the U.S. and from a wide range of published
sources, this scholarly work identifies every type
of population list taken before 1790, giving the
MAP GUIDE TO THE U.S. FEDERAL CENSUSES, 1790–1920
William Thorndale & William Dollarhide
This work shows all U.S. county boundaries from 1790 to 1920.
On each of the nearly 400 maps the old county lines are superimposed over the modern ones to highlight the boundary changes at
10-year intervals. Also included are (1) a history of census growth;
(2) the technical facts about each census; (3) a discussion of census
accuracy; (4) an essay on available sources for each state’s old county
lines; and (5) a statement with each map indicating which county
census lines exist and which are lost. An index lists all present-day
counties, plus nearly all defunct counties or counties later re-named.
With each map there is data on boundary changes, notes about
the census, and locality finding keys. There also are inset maps that
clarify territorial lines, a state-by-state bibliography of sources, and
an appendix outlining pitfalls in mapping county boundaries.

STATE CENSUS RECORDS
Ann S. Lainhart
State censuses rank with
federal censuses as a major
genealogical resource but
remain under-utilized. State
censuses not only stand as
substitutes for some of the
missing 1790, 1800, 1810,
and 1890 censuses (as well
as many county and statewide enumerations lost or
destroyed between 1790 and
1890) but also as valuable
population enumerations
in their own right. Many state censuses, for example, asked different questions than the federal
census, so they record information that cannot
be found elsewhere in federal schedules. State
by state, year by year, often county by county
and district by district, Mrs. Lainhart shows what
is available in state census records, when it is
available, and what one might expect to find in
the way of data.

name of the vessel, the exact date of the vessel’s
arrival, and the port of embarkation. Thus, if
the port of entry and the approximate arrival
dates are known, it may be possible to determine the name of the vessel and the name of
the passenger line. If the port of embarkation is
known, it may be possible to narrow the search
even further. And if the name of the ship and the
name of the line are known, it may be possible
to determine the exact date of arrival.

Census Records/Immigration & Passenger Lists
AMERICAN PASSENGER ARRIVAL RECORDS. A Guide to the Records of Immigrants
Arriving at American Ports by Sail and Steam. Updated and Enlarged Edition
Michael Tepper
Millions of people made their way to America in the most determined
and sustained migration the world has ever known. Initially they left traces
of their immigration in scattered records and documents. Later their arrival
here was documented so minutely that the records resulting are among the
largest, the most continuous and the most uniform in the nation’s archives.
These passenger arrival records identify by name, place of origin, and other
particulars the vast majority of persons who participated in the great Atlantic
migration. This book examines the records in their historical and legal framework, and it explains what they contain, where they can be found, and how
they can be used. In effect, it is a road map through the mass of records and
archival resources documenting immigrant arrivals from the time of the earliest
settlements to the passage of the Quota Acts three centuries later. This edition
features expanded coverage of colonial emigration records, finding aids and
reference materials, National Archives microfilm programs and publications,
current projects and new developments in immigration research, and more.

Peter Wilson Coldham
This is a reworking of the
records of the Exchequer,
the 1624 and 1625 censuses of Virginia, and the
records of licenses and examination of persons found
in John Camden Hotten’s
Original Lists of Persons of
Quality (1874). To Hotten’s
basic list, which he has
revised and augmented to
1660, Coldham has added
records of vagrants, waifs,
and prostitutes. He has also
added new transcriptions
of records—not in Hotten—of servants sent to
“foreign plantationes” from Bristol, 1654–1660;
and he has added much more from port books,
court records, and from many types of official
papers and documents.

This fourth and final volume brings the story
of English emigration in the colonial period to
its close. Voluntary emigration from the British
Isles went into a steep decline after the year
1750, only to rise again sharply from 1770 and
to reach epidemic proportions by 1773, a year of
great economic hardship in Britain. The records
drawn on, in addition to the usual sources,
include port books, plantation apprenticeship
bindings, and treasury records of emigrants
departing from English ports. The four volumes
combined identify about 100,000 English emigrants to colonial America from virtually every
reference that can be found in England.

sentenced to be sent to the
American colonies for a
variety of crimes. The data on
those involuntary colonists

the following information: parish of origin, sentencing court, nature of the offense, date of sentence, date and ship on which
transported, date and place landed in America,
and the English county in which the sentence

Families Directly Descended from ALL THE
ROYAL FAMILIES IN EUROPE (495 to 1932)
AND MAYFLOWER DESCENDANTS
Elizabeth M. Leach Rixford
This work extends many of the connections
laid out in Three Hundred Colonial Ancestors
and War Service to the royal and noble families
of Europe. The notable ancestors include Cerdic,
first of the West Saxon kings; Alfred the Great;
Robert Bruce; Kings Henry I, II and III; Kings
Edward I, II and III; and many lines through Charlemagne, Louis I, the Earls of Warren, the Dukes
of Normandy, the Royal House of Portugal, the
House of Capet, the Counts of Anjoy, the Kings of
Jerusalem, and more. The author also shows how
several Mayflower lines are connected to all the
members of the Vermont Society of Mayflower
Descendants.

ROYALTY FOR COMMONERS. The Complete
Known Lineage of John of Gaunt, Son of
Edward III, King of England, and Queen
Philippa. Fourth Edition
Roderick W. Stuart
Royalty for Commoners
documents the complete
known genealogy of John of
Gaunt, son of King Edward
III and Queen Philippa.
Thus, any commoner who
can connect his or her family lineage to that of John of
Gaunt can now be shown to
share the same basic royal
heritage as the most noble
knight—the complete heritage, not just the Plantagenet
ascent. This is the usual
lineage through which a commoner can enter
the domain of European royalty.
even if you already own the first edition, as
likely several million Americans can prove their
descent from this noted governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Also new in this volume
are the many connections to distinguished
Dudley descendants identified by Gary Boyd
Roberts in his two volumes of Notable Kin and
elsewhere.

Marston Watson
Thousands of Americans can claim the Marbury family’s lineal connections to their royal
and noble ancestry, from William the Conqueror through Edward I. This volume focuses
on two of English minister Francis Marbury’s
daughters, Katherine Marbury Scott and Anne
Marbury Hutchinson (the Puritan iconoclast and
co-founder of Rhode Island), who immigrated
with their husbands to the New World in the
1630s. It covers the first five generations of their
descendants, carrying the various lines up to and
beyond the Revolutionary War, into the sixth
generation. The book concludes with an everyname index, a comprehensive bibliography,
and a “Lineage Society Index” with the names
of eligible Marbury ancestors associated with a
number of distinguished hereditary societies.

SOUTHERN LOYALISTS IN THE CIVL WAR:
The Southern Claims Commission
Gary B. Mills
Six years after the Civil War, Congress created
the Southern Claims Commission, through which
pro-Union Southerners could apply for reimbursement of some of their losses. Some 22,298
cases were filed by individuals, family groups,
churches, and businesses. These case files
include such items as family letters and bibles,
wills and probate records, personal accounts,
and property inventories. The present work is a
“master index” to the case files of the Commission, and it gives, in tabular form, the name of
the claimant, his/her county and state, the Commission number, office and report numbers, and
the year and status of the claim.

The records of the American Loyalist Claims Commission include applications,
correspondence, depositions, affidavits, and legal transcripts. Mr. Coldham has
grouped the Loyalist cases by the name and normal residence of the person in
whose right each claim was rendered. All 5,800 individual claims are abstracted
here, touching on 15,000 individuals, some three-quarters of whom took up
residence outside the U.S. after 1783. The remainder, including many who had
been classed as Loyalists, became citizens of the new Republic.

Arizona, California, Louisiana, New Mexico,
and Texas Military Rosters
Leroy Martinez
The Spanish Empire, under
King Carlos III, provided
significant aid and support for
America’s struggle for independence from Great Britain, and
this book is the first to identify
the Spanish combatants serving in North America during
the Revolution. The book
begins with a list of Spanish
governors, Spanish forts, and a
glossary of Spanish terms that
appear in the records. At the
heart of the work are the lists of Spanish soldiers
who served in areas covering today’s states of
Arizona, California, Louisiana, New Mexico,
and Texas. In most cases, the author identifies
each soldier by name, military unit, rank and
date, and the source, as well as sometimes by
age, place of origin in Europe, theater served in,
and other factors—shedding light on some 7,500
Spanish combatants.

U.S. War Department
The Pension Roll of 1835
is the most complete roll of
Revolutionary War pensioners ever published. It was
compiled by the War Department under Senate Resolutions of 1834–35 from lists
of pensioners who had been
enrolled under all previous
acts of Congress. When GPC
first reprinted the Roll in
1968, we rearranged it in four
volumes, one each for the
New England states, the Mid-Atlantic states, the
Southern states, and the Mid-Western states; in
1992, GPC added a comprehensive index at the
end of Volume IV. This Roll contains the names
and service records of about 60,700 soldiers,
both regulars and militia. Information given for
each soldier generally includes rank, annual
allowance, sums received, description of service,
date when placed on the pension roll, and date
of death or date of the law under which the pension was granted.

THE FINAL ROLLS of Citizens and Freedmen of the Five Civilized Tribes in Indian
Territory [and] INDEX TO THE FINAL ROLLS. Two Volumes
Dawes Commission
In 1893 the Dawes Commission was established to negotiate with
the Cherokees, Choctaws, Chickasaws, Creeks, and Seminoles (the Five
Civilized Tribes) to abolish tribal governments and to provide for the allotment of land to tribal members. The Commission was empowered to
prepare citizenship rolls (membership rolls) for each tribe to determine the
proper distribution of land and to hear and “determine the applications
of all persons who may apply to them for citizenship and . . . determine
the right of such applicant to be admitted and enrolled.”
The Final Rolls approved by the Commission contained the names of
101,000 Native Americans, of whom approximately one-fourth were full
blood. Most rolls give name, age, sex, degree of Indian blood, and the
number of the census card, generally known as the “enrollment card,”
on which each citizen was enrolled.
From the original Final Rolls, the Commission in 1907 published The
Final Rolls of Citizens and Freedmen of the Five Civilized Tribes in Indian
Territory along with the Index to the Final Rolls, reprinted here for the
first time in a century. The Index volume, divided by tribe and broken down under the various
categories noted above, provides the Indian’s name and the roll number. The roll number is the
key to the Final Rolls volume, which lists enrollees by tribe and category and thereunder by name,
age, sex, degree of blood, and the number of the census card.

TRACING ANCESTORS AMONG THE FIVE CIVILIZED TRIBES
Rachal Mills Lennon
Stories about Indian ancestors in the family tree are common among both
black and white families whose roots go deep in the American Southeast,
especially those with links to the Cherokees, Choctaws, Chickasaws, Creeks,
and Seminoles, the Five Civilized Tribes.
This work is designed to eliminate speculation and to help you determine
the truth about your Indian ancestry. It focuses on the toughest period to
research—the century or so prior to the removal of the Southeastern nations to Indian Territory. It provides the cultural, genealogical, and historical background needed to turn family stories into proved lineages, and it
outlines a method of research that will take you as far back as the colonial
and early federal periods and forward to the great tribal enrollment records
of the late 19th century.

NEW ENGLAND MARRIAGES Prior to 1700. One Volume in Two
Clarence A. Torrey
With a New Introduction by Gary Boyd Roberts
This work is a comprehensive listing of the 37,000 married couples who
lived in New England between 1620 and 1700. Included are the names
of virtually every married couple living in New England before 1700, their
marriage date or the birth year of a first child, the maiden names of 70%
of the wives, the birth and death years of both partners, mention of earlier
or later marriages, the residences of every couple, and an index of names.
The inclusion of maiden names makes it possible to identify the husbands
of sisters, daughters, and many granddaughters of immigrants and of immigrant sisters or kinswomen.

THIRD SUPPLEMENT TO TORREY’S New England Marriages Prior

Melinde Lutz Sanborn
Mrs. Sanborn’s Third Supplement is primarily an index to the major genealogical periodicals published since Torrey’s death. Covering the period
from 1962 through the spring of 2003, this third supplement incorporates
all of the information from the first and second supplements and contains
80% new material! In all, approximately 6,000 entries referring to as many
as 20,000 individuals are included. An impressive number of new entries
were provided by prominent researchers from their own unpublished work,
while additional entries were developed from various website postings. Many
entries come from multi-generational studies, often running to five or six
generations, well into the 18th century. Thus, this work indexes not only the
17th-century couple, but it also leads the researcher to later generations.

Farmer’s Register. With added “Genealogical
Notes and Errata” by Mrs. C. H. Dall, and

James Savage
This is the basic genealogical dictionary of
early New England settlers, giving the name of
every settler who arrived in New England before
1692 regardless of their station, rank, or fortune.
Alphabetically arranged, for each individual it
gives the dates of his marriage and death, dates
of birth, marriage and death of his children,
and birth dates and names of the grandchildren.
According to the author, “nineteen twentieths
of the people of these New England colonies in
1775 were descendants of those found here in
1692, and probably seven eighths of them were
offspring of the settlers before 1642.”

FEMALE INDEX to Genealogical Dictionary
of the First Settlers of New England by
James Savage
Patty Barthell Myers
Savage’s Genealogical Dictionary is one of
the greatest works ever published on New
England genealogy. The first edition came out in
1860, and as the four volumes were published
in alphabetical sequence by family name, the
males were usually found by checking their
surnames. The females were scattered throughout
the four volumes; all were difficult to find, and,
if the husbands’ names were unknown, these
ladies could not be found. This new female
index, however, published almost 150 years after
Savage’s Dictionary first came out, lists all the females alphabetically by maiden name and married names (more than 50,000 names altogether).

GEORGIA FREE PERSONS OF COLOR
Michael A. Ports
An 1818 statute of the Georgia legislature
required all free persons of color to register with
the inferior court of their county of residence.
County clerks were required to inscribe each
freed man or woman by name, age, place of
birth, residence, year arrived in Georgia, and occupation. The ensuing registers, varying in their
completeness, survive for 21 Georgia counties.
Over time, Mr. Ports hopes to transcribe all 21

This work, which treats the same area as
Kozee’s Early Families of Eastern and Southeastern Kentucky above, is largely a sourcebook of
genealogical data rather than a collection of
family histories. Genealogical information on
each county is uniform and is arranged in the
following manner: first is given the boundary
and establishment by law of each county; next,
a synopsis of the earliest court records pertaining to the county; then, often a list of pioneer
families according to the 1810 federal census
and various county tax lists; and finally, and of
greatest importance to the researcher, marriage
records of various southeastern Kentucky counties. Additional sections of interest include lists
of Revolutionary, War of 1812, and Civil War
soldiers.

Stanley C. Arthur & George Campbell

The first part of this book consists of a series of

Since Dimitry’s focus was confined to a limited
number of early French and, to a lesser extent,
Spanish families, authors Arthur and Kernion
augmented them with prominent Louisiana
foundation families of English, Scottish, and Irish
descent, as well as with additional French and
Spanish families omitted by Dimitry. Spanning
thousands of individuals, all of whose origins
in Louisiana pre-date the Louisiana Purchase of
1803, this work should be the starting point for
tracing your Bayou ancestry.

in every household in eight of the then-existing
Maryland counties—are marriages, loyalty oaths,
tombstone inscriptions, pensions, naturalizations,
surveys, rent rolls, and other types of lists. Marriage records cover the counties of Anne Arundel, Charles, Frederick, Montgomery, St. Mary’s,
Washington, and Worcester; church records
include birth and death records of All Saints Parish, Frederick, 1727–1781, and parish registers of
Prince George’s Parish, Prince George’s County,
and St. Martin’s Parish in Worcester County.
More than 50,000 individuals are named.

THE ARK AND THE DOVE ADVENTURERS.
By The Society of The Ark and The Dove
George Ely Russell and Donna Valley Russell, Editors
This is the first comprehensive account of the original
Maryland colonists, and it
contains compiled genealogies of their descendants to the
fifth generation when possible.
Because there are no recorded
passenger lists for the Ark and
Dove, the compilers have
mined alternative record sources
in order to reconstruct the
rosters of passengers and crew
and establish the genealogical links and vital statistics that make up the heart of this book, which
identifies approximately 6,000 individuals.

ABSTRACTS OF THE DEBT BOOKS OF THE
PROVINCIAL LAND OFFICE OF MARYLAND.
V. L. Skinner, Jr.
The Provincial Land Office of Maryland was
responsible for distributing land from 1634 to
1777 on behalf of the Lord Proprietor. Land
owners acquired their plots by means of a warrant, followed by a patent. Each piece of land
so granted was subject to a yearly rent. The debt
books list persons owning land, giving the names
of the parcel(s) and the acreage of each tract that
Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc. & Clearfield Company
the person owned for each year rent was collected. The books are arranged by county, by year,
and then by the name of the person paying the
rent. Mr. Skinner’s transcription of the debt books
is an ongoing project. So far, debt books for the
following five counties have been transcribed:

MASSACHUSETTS AND MAINE FAMILIES in the Ancestry of Walter Goodwin Davis
(1885–1966): A Reprinting, in Alphabetical Order by Surname, of the Sixteen MultiAncestor Compendia (plus Thomas Haley of Winter Harbor and His Descendants)
Compiled by Maine’s Foremost Genealogist, 1916–1963. With an
Introduction by Gary Boyd Roberts
Walter Goodwin Davis
This work covers 180 families, all of Davis’s colonial forebears plus 19
English families in the immediate ancestry of American immigrants. One
hundred fourteen of these families lived mostly in Massachusetts; 29 are
associated largely with Maine; and 18 lived largely in New Hampshire,
primarily Hampton, Portsmouth, or Exeter. Most of the 114 Massachusetts
families resided in Essex County, a few in Middlesex or Plymouth counties, or in Boston. Thus, this work is largely a compendium of “north of
Boston” families.

MICHIGAN GENEALOGY: Sources &
Resources. Second Edition
Carol McGinnis
This work identifies
records on the state and
regional level and then the
county level, providing details of vital records, court
and land records, military
records, newspapers, and
census records, as well as
the holdings of the various
societies and institutions
whose resources and facilities support the special
needs of the genealogist.
This thoroughly revised
and expanded edition devotes an entire chapter
to Internet resources for Michigan family history
research. Other new chapters explore the reasons why people settled in Michigan; territorial
and state laws that governed the recording of
vital records in Michigan; and non-traditional
sources for research, such as prison and poorhouse records.

PIONEERS OF OLD MONOCACY
Grace L. Tracey & John P. Dern
This work has a dual focus. First it attempts to
locate and describe the land of the early settlers.
This is done by means of a superb series of plat
maps, drawn to scale from original surveys and
based on both certificates of survey and patents.
These show the exact locations of the various
grants and lots, names of owners and occupiers, dates of surveys and patents, and names of
contiguous land owners. Second, it identifies the
early settlers and inhabitants of the area through
deeds, wills and inventories, judgment records,
and rent rolls. Winner of the 1988 Donald Lines

EARLY SETTLERS OF NEW YORK STATE—
Their Ancestors and Descendants. Two
Volumes
Janet Wethy Foley
This is a consolidated,
edited version of a scarce
and very important
periodical, Early Settlers
of New York State. Edited
by New York genealogist
Janet Foley, the magazine’s
purpose was to collect,
publish, and preserve
church records, tombstone
inscriptions, and family
records—first from western
New York, then from all
of New York State. By the
time they had suspended publication, Mrs. Foley,
with assistance from her husband, had compiled
reams of Bible records, marriages, obituaries,
and the other primary genealogical sources for
the Empire State.
10,000 VITAL RECORDS OF EASTERN NEW
YORK, 1777–1834
Fred Q. Bowman
This work covers the
interior county of Otsego and
the 300-mile strip comprising the eastern-most counties
of Clinton, Essex, Saratoga,
Rensselaer, Albany, Columbia, and “Old Dutchess,”
which, before 1812, included
the territory of present-day
Putnam County. The records
are drawn from the marriage
and death columns of newspapers published before 1835
in each of the above-named counties. Bridegrooms and the individuals who were the subject
of death notices are listed alphabetically.

10,000 VITAL RECORDS OF WESTERN NEW
YORK, 1809–1850
Fred Q. Bowman
The vital records in this
work come from marriage
and death columns in five
western New York newspapers published before 1850:
the Republican Advocate of
Batavia, the Steuben Farmers
Advocate of Bath, the Geneva Gazette, the Jamestown
Journal, and Palmyra’s Wayne
Sentinel. Birth announcements
were not published in these
early newspapers, but many of
the marriage and death notices mentioned birth
years, birthplaces, and parents’ names.

For each record Dr. Miller gives the name of the
apprentice, a date (either the date of the original
bond or indenture, or a subsequent date), the
age at apprenticeship, the name of the master,
and miscellaneous information ranging from the
name of the mother or a sibling, race, cause of
apprenticeship (e.g., orphan), his/her trade, etc.
The East Tennessee volume, containing about
11,000 entries and spanning the period 1778
to 1911, bears reference to apprenticeships

forward from the oldest known ancestor of the
line to the family member (living or memorialized) featured in the sketch, for whom, in turn,
a biography—often with a photograph—is
provided. This is followed, frequently, by additional, collateral lines linked to the subject of
the essay. Many of the lineages go back to 16thcentury England, still others give connections
to Massachusetts and the other New England
states. Finally, while the work contains upwards
of 30,000 references to kith and kin, the name
indexes found at the front of the two volumes
identify nearly 1,200 principal descendants of
the main families treated.

SOLDIERS OF THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR
BURIED IN VERMONT
Walter H. Crockett
This unusual work contains lists comprising
the names of nearly 6,000 Revolutionary soldiers
buried in Vermont; many of the soldiers emigrated from other states into Vermont during the
years immediately following the Revolution. The
names were gathered from a variety of sources,
but the largest number were extracted from a
rare list of Vermont Revolutionary pensioners, a
list embracing invalid pensioners.

ADVENTURERS OF PURSE AND PERSON VIRGINIA 1607–1624/5.
Fourth Edition. Published for the Order of First Families of Virginia,
1607–1624/5
John Frederick Dorman, Editor
This multi-volume work establishes descents—through the sixth generation—of
the 150 individuals who can be identified as (1) Adventurers of Purse (i.e. stockholders in the Virginia Company of London) who either came to Virginia in the
period 1607–1625 and had descendants or who did not come to Virginia within
that period but whose grandchildren were residents there; or (2) Adventurers of
Person, 1607–1625 (i.e. ordinary immigrants to Virginia) who left descendants.
Volume One covers families A–F (Andrews through Freeman), and identifies 52
families and over 7,800 individual descendants resident in Virginia (or subsequently
in other states). Family accounts are supported by 10,000 footnote citations to
manuscripts or published records. The index contains 19,000 name, place, and
subject entries, many with multiple page citations.
Volume Two covers families G–P (Gaither through Purifoy), and identifies 51
families and over 7,684 individual descendants. As with Volume One, family
accounts are supported by nearly 10,000 footnote citations; the index contains
20,000 name, place and subject entries.
Volume Three covers families R–Z (Reynolds through Zouche), and identifies
46 families and more than 6,500 individual descendants. As with volumes One
and Two, family accounts are supported by nearly 10,000 footnote citations; the
index contains 20,000 name, place, and subject entries.

Louis A. Burgess
This monumental work is based on official
government records on file in the Virginia
Land Office and on documents in the Archives
Department of the Virginia State Library. The
records are of several classes—bounty warrants,
military certificates, exchange warrants, and land
vouchers—and they establish absolute proof
of Revolutionary service and of the descent of
bounty land.
Annexed to these claims are certificates of
heirship, wills and powers of attorney, dates of
birth and death, and place of residence of the
Revolutionary soldier. Further information includes the number of the warrant, exact number
of acres granted, and date issued.

VIRGINIA IMMIGRANTS AND ADVENTURERS, 1607–1635: A Biographical Dictionary
Martha W. McCartney
This book brings together a variety of primary sources regarding Virginia’s
earliest European inhabitants and the sparsely populated and fragile communities in which they lived, resulting in the most comprehensive collection of annotated biographical sketches yet published. Ms. McCartney conveys the basics
about many of these original colonists: their origins, the names of the ships
they sailed on, the names of the “hundreds” and “plantations” they inhabited,
the names of their spouses and children, their occupations and their position
in the colony, their relationships with fellow colonists and Indian neighbors,
their living conditions as far as can be ascertained from documentary sources,
their ownership of land, the dates and circumstances of their death, and other
details about their personal lives.
Maps provided identify the sites at which Virginia’s earliest plantations
were located and enable genealogists and students of colonial history to link
most of the more than 5,500 people included in this volume to the cultural
landscape. An introductory chapter, moreover, includes an overview of local
and regional settlement and provides succinct histories of the various plantations established in
Tidewater Virginia by 1635.

JAMESTOWN PEOPLE TO 1800: Landowners, Public Officials, Minorities, and Native
Leaders
Martha W. McCartney
This work provides a detailed look at the people associated with Jamestown
from its founding in 1607 to 1800. Based on government records and private
archives, it provides historical biographies of several distinct groups of people:
Jamestown Island landowners, public officials such as council members and
burgesses, Native-American leaders, and African Americans associated with
Jamestown. It also covers more than a thousand people who did not own land
on Jamestown Island but whose activities brought them to Virginia’s capital city.
Using an array of fascinating but little known sources, McCartney offers
authoritative biographies and sketches of everyone in the public record associated with Virginia’s capital. She has also enriched her text with a careful
study of privately held papers, lending texture to the historical record while
filling in little known details about this very distinctive population.

The term Métis originally referred to the

Later, there were also Anglo Métis children of
Scottish, English, and other European fathers
and indigenous mothers. Today, the French and
Anglo Métis cultures have essentially merged
into a distinct group with official recognition as
one of the three Aboriginal Peoples of Canada.
This series of volumes traces the descendants of
the 56 original Métis families for at least three
generations and in some cases as many as ten.

ERIN’S SONS: Irish Arrivals in Atlantic
Canada. Volumes I–IV
Terrence M. Punch
Mr. Punch has combed
through a wide-ranging and
disparate group of sources
to identify as many Irish
immigrants as possible and
to reveal their place of
origin in the Old Country. The region of Atlantic
Canada covered here are
the provinces of Newfoundland and Labrador,
Prince Edward Island, New
Brunswick, and Nova Scotia. These volumes are
an invaluable tool for U.S. researchers, since
many New England Irish families can trace their
ancestry through Atlantic Canada. (Volume II
covers the same years as Volume I and includes
references to an additional 7,000 persons). Each

NORTH AMERICA’S MARITIME FUNNEL: The
Ships that Brought the Irish, 1749–1852
Terrence M. Punch
Functioning as the
narrow end of a funnel
through which thousands
dispersed widely across
the North American
continent, the Maritime
Provinces of Canada
offered easy access, beckoning immigrants from
Ireland’s catchment areas
along the waterways of
Dublin, Londonderry, and
Cork. This book provides a chronological list of
the documented 1,050 voyages between Ireland
and the Maritimes, giving the names of the vessels, their port and date of departure as well as
their port of arrival and indicates the number of
passengers and sometimes their names and destination. Only 123 passenger lists of the 1,050
voyages survive, but by dint of groundbreaking
research, Mr. Punch has managed to fill in many
of the gaps.

SOME EARLY SCOTS IN MARITIME CANADA.
Volumes I–III
Terrence M. Punch
Only after 1770 did
the Maritime Provinces of
Canada begin to attract
Scots settlers, mainly but
not exclusively from the
Scottish Highlands. The
Scots put their stamp on
Cape Breton Island, the
eastern mainland of Nova
Scotia, much of Prince
Edward Island, and coastal
regions of New Brunswick.
These three volumes are based on materials found in the Nova Scotia Archives and the
Public Archives of New Brunswick, among
others. Records consulted range from newspaper announcements of marriages and deaths to
cemetery records and censuses, and from rare
passenger lists to probate records.

GUIDE TO QUEBEC CATHOLIC PARISHES
AND PUBLISHED PARISH MARRIAGE
RECORDS
Jeanne Sauve White
The bulk of this work consists of county-bycounty lists of parishes within the Province of
Quebec, and all known Catholic parishes are
listed to 1900. Each list gives the names of all
the parishes within that county, arranged in order
of formation, with the date of the oldest records
for that parish. A reference letter and name after
the parish indicates the compiler and publisher
of a marriage register for that parish or whether
the marriages for that parish may be found in the
important “Loiselles Marriage Index.”

Peter Wilson Coldham
By 1776, the prisons of
England had disgorged some
50,000 of their inmates to
the American colonies, most
of them destined to survive
and, with their descendants,
to populate the land of their
exile.
Supported by a massive array of documentary evidence
and first-hand testimony, this
book focuses on the emergence and use of transportation as a means of dealing with an unwanted
population, dwelling at length on the processes
involved, the men charged with the administration of the system of transportation or engaged
in transportation as a business. It then proceeds
with a fascinating look at the transportees themselves, their lives and hapless careers, and their
reception in the colonies.

ANCESTRAL TRAILS. The Complete Guide to British Genealogy and Family History
2nd Edition
Mark D. Herber
Ancestral Trails enables the researcher to form a coherent picture of past
generations by describing virtually every class of record in every repository and
library in Britain. The book guides the researcher through the voluminous British
archives, extending back to medieval times, and provides a detailed view of the
records and published sources available, analyzing each record and guiding the
searcher to finding-aids and indexes. In this context, Mr. Herber is careful to
link sources together to ensure that researchers can use material found in one
source to assist a search in other sources. This second edition also brings the
reader up-to-date with the many important changes that have recently taken
place in British genealogy.
Writing in the Foreword to the second edition, John Titford remarks that “an
increasing amount of material of relevance to family historians is being made
available in print, on microform, on CD-ROM, and on the Internet; fresh finding
aids appear and older ones become redundant; record repositories, libraries,
family history societies and other interest groups appear afresh on the scene. . . . None of this has
escaped the notice of the author of Ancestral Trails, and this welcome new edition, to which the
phrase ‘bigger and better’ hardly does justice, is testimony to the continuing careful attention to
detail which characterised the first edition.”

John Grenham
Mr. Grenham’s work combines all the best features of a textbook and a
reference book, expertly describing the various steps in the research process
while at the same time providing an indispensable body of source materials
for immediate use.
Updated to reflect the enormous changes brought about by the Internet, this
fourth edition serves as a directory to online records, discussing their uses and
outlining research strategies. Most useful are the subsections to each of the
county source lists—first incorporated in the third edition and here updated
and expanded—showing county Internet sources, and references are given
throughout for any online versions of the records dealt with.
Along with its step-by-step instructions in the location and use of traditional
genealogical records, its discussion of civil records of birth, marriage, and
death, as well as land records and wills, and its list of Roman Catholic parish records and source
lists—all expanded, updated, and indexed—this guide is easily the most useful book in Irish genealogy.

BASIC GUIDE TO IRISH RECORDS FOR
FAMILY HISTORY
Brian Mitchell
Mr. Mitchell’s latest offering was inspired by
the growing number of Irish sources available on
the Internet and provides an up-to-date overview
of the key sources for Irish research. According
to the author, Irish genealogical records fall into
the following eight major categories: (1) civil registers of births, marriages, and deaths; (2) church
registers of baptisms, marriages, and burials;
(3) gravestone inscriptions; (4) wills; (5) 1901
and 1911 census returns; (6) mid-19th-century
Griffith’s Valuation; (7) early 19th-century Tithe
Applotment Books; and (8) other census substitutes. Each source is examined in detail.
Emphasizing the role of geography in Irish
genealogy, the author explains that the country is
divided into seven overlapping administrative divisions and clarifies the genealogical function of
each. The final sections list Internet sites devoted
exclusively or substantially to Irish genealogical
research and also provide a core bibliography of
the best sources now available.

A NEW GENEALOGICAL ATLAS OF IRELAND. Second Edition
Brian Mitchell
This second edition includes additional maps detailing the location of
Roman Catholic parishes in all 32 counties of Ireland and Presbyterian congregations in the nine counties of Northern Ireland. It is not only invaluable
for tracing your ancestors in church records but also for locating ancestors in
civil records, for it provides descriptions and maps of the parochial and civil
administrative divisions to which all major Irish record sources are linked.
Mr. Mitchell has drawn at least four, and sometimes five, maps for every
county. The first county map depicts the civil/Church of Ireland parishes; the
second shows the baronies and Church of Ireland dioceses; the third map
illustrates the poor law unions and the parishes included within the probate
districts serving that county; the fourth plots Roman Catholic parishes and
dioceses; and the fifth locates Presbyterian congregations for the nine counties of Northern Ireland. The book includes three maps of Ireland to show
the area covered by each county, diocese, and probate district. In addition,
it describes all of the major record sources of Ireland.

THE SURNAMES OF NORTH WEST

Brian Mitchell
Drawing on a range of primary and secondary
sources, the author has produced 324 singlepage histories of surnames that either originated
Ireland/Scotland/Europe

in or became established
in North West Ireland. Mr.
Mitchell estimates that these
histories document the
surname origins of over 80%
of people with roots in North
West Ireland.
Most of the histories
describe the geographic
prevalence of the name in
North West Ireland today, the
ancient origins of the name’s
founders, the name’s meaning, the expansion/contraction of the name, surname variations, and much
more. These characteristics distinguish Brian
Mitchell’s book as the most important addition to
Irish onomastics in many years.

The first half of this work describes the methods used by Griffith and his colleagues in producing the land valuation and, in particular, the
great Ordnance Survey of Irish townlands which
fixed local boundaries throughout Ireland.
In the genealogical section, Mr. Reilly burrows
into the intricacies of the valuations, showing
how an understanding of the abbreviations and
shorthand used by the valuators can lead the researcher from the valuation to other Irish records
concerning one’s ancestors. The appendices
include a glossary of key terms, dates of publication of the Ordnance Survey Memoirs, countyby-county commencement and completion dates
of the tenement valuations conducted from 1846
to 1864, and an inventory of the Books of Sir
Richard Griffith’s General Valuation of Rateable

HUGUENOT AND SCOTS LINKS, 1575–1775
David Dobson
Fearing reprisals after Louis XIV rescinded the
Edict of Nantes in 1685, Huguenots fled to the
Netherlands, Germany, Scandinavia, England,
America, and, in a few cases, to Scotland. Most
of these emigrants settled in the Canongate, then
a separate burgh but now a part of Edinburgh.
Working from baptismal registers, burgess
rolls, tax lists, marriage registers, and other
primary sources, David Dobson has unearthed
information concerning over 1,000 Scottish
Huguenots or their descendants. For each individual, the compiler provides the name, a locale,

a date, usually an occupation, and something
about the person.

All four volumes in the series are designed to
assist family historians researching their origins
during the 17th century. Since only seventeen
parish registers of the Church of Scotland prior
to 1685 survive for this area, Mr. Dobson’s
researches attempt to fill the void as best as possible. The volumes are based, overwhelmingly,
on primary sources in the National Archives of
Scotland and Edinburgh, and they are fully referenced. The single most important source used
in the compilations are the Registers of Testaments for Glasgow. The inhabitants are arranged
alphabetically and are identified by a town or
townland, date, and source.

David Dobson
This series helps the researcher to link an

British Museum in London, the Public Record
Office and Trinity College in Dublin, the Public
Record Office in Northern Ireland in Belfast,
as well as Scottish sources, these seven parts
identify approximately 8,000 Lowland Scots who
migrated to Ulster as university students, apprentices, ministers, merchants, weavers, teachers, or
persons in flight. Typically, each listing gives the
Scots-Irish person’s name, occupation, place of
residence, a date, and the source; in a number of
cases, Mr. Dobson also provides information on
spouse, children, local origins, and landholdings.

TRACING YOUR SCOTTISH ANCESTRY. Third Edition
Kathleen B. Cory
Revised and updated by Leslie Hodgson, this third edition is packed with
information and advice on basic research techniques. It focuses on the holdings of the two principal Scottish record repositories, the General Register
Office at New Register House and the Scottish Record Office, both in Edin­
burgh. Referring to records of births, marriages, and deaths before and after
1855 and census returns from 1841 to 1891 at the first-named location, and
wills, testaments, deeds, and church records at the other, the author guides
you to a successful conclusion of your search. New subjects covered in the
third edition include the reorganization of local archives, the digitization and
accessibility of old records, and the use of local history in genealogy. There
are also chapters on family names, clans and tartans, heraldry, and record
repositories outside of Edinburgh.

GERMAN-ENGLISH GENEALOGICAL
DICTIONARY
Ernest Thode
This dictionary covers
thousands of German terms
and defines them in single
words or brief phrases. All
words, symbols, and abbreviations in the dictionary
were chosen on the basis
of their association with genealogy, having been noted
in church records, civil
registration records, family
correspondence, genealogical journals, ships’ passenger lists, and emigration records. In conjunction with a standard
German-English dictionary, the user should be
able to make a word-by-word translation of any
German document and understand it.

Most of the papers cited here
are from Germany and the
former Austro-Hungarian Empire, though there are papers
from as far away as China
and Oklahoma. The genealogical information in
these newspapers is almost limitless.

POLISH ROOTS. Second Edition
Rosemary A. Chorzempa
Mrs. Chorzempa begins
with an examination of
Polish-American resources,
touching first on records
kept by the Polish-American family, then veering off into a discussion
of the standard records
employed in genealogical
research, such as census
and naturalization records,
ships’ passenger lists, vital
records of birth, marriage
and death, records of fraternal societies, newspapers, church records, and
military records. She treats each of these record
groups in the context of Polish-American research, setting a framework for her discussion of
the records held by the LDS Church in Salt Lake
City. She also provides a breakdown of libraries
and archives with Polish genealogical materials
and a comprehensive list of Polish genealogical
societies.
The bulk of the book focuses on research in
Poland, as the author shows the reader how to
find and use church and civil records; how and
where to locate research services, libraries, and
archives; how to make sense of Polish names
and the naming practices of the major ethnic
groups; and how, ultimately, to deal with the Polish language. Also contains a letter-writing guide,
a transliteration of queries and requests to be
sent to Polish churches, civil record offices, and
institutions for purposes of obtaining assistance.

TRACING ANCESTORS IN BARBADOS.
A Practical Guide
Geraldine Lane
This groundbreaking
manual covers all sections
of Barbadian society, from
English planter families
to indentured servants
and the tens of thousands
of Africans brought in
as slaves. Many of these
people subsequently
moved on to the United
States and other destinations to seek their fortune
beyond Barbados. Records
of baptism, marriage,
and burial for Anglican and other denominations—as well as those of birth and death—are
described here in detail. Other subjects covered
include wills, deeds, censuses, military records,
immigration and emigration, cemetery records,
and records of slaves and plantation ownership.
Developments in DNA testing are also examined as well as Internet sources and numerous
published sources.

FINDING YOUR HISPANIC ROOTS
George R. Ryskamp
This work provides
detailed information on
the records, sources, and
reference works used in
research in all major Hispanic countries. Starting
with an examination of
basic research principles
and techniques, it goes on
to discuss language and
handwriting, Hispanic surnames, methods of tracing
Hispanic immigrants in
U.S. records, and how to
conduct Hispanic genealogical research in LDS Family History Centers.
The work then examines the types of records
found in all Hispanic countries and indicates
where particular record types are found. Covered
here are civil registers of births, marriages, and
deaths; church records of baptisms, marriages,
and burials; census records; military records; and
the often under-utilized notarial records.

In Search of Your Asian Roots:
GENEALOGICAL RESOURCES ON CHINESE
SURNAMES
Sheau-yueh J. Chao
This is a ground-breaking treatise on the
related topics of Chinese-American genealogy
and Chinese onomastics. In fact, the book is the
first basic tool in English to trace the origins of
Chinese surnames. Chapter 1 describes the history of Chinese surnames. Chapter 2 delivers a
genealogical analysis of more than 600 Chinese
surnames. Typically each surname sketch depicts
the founder or other originating influence upon
the name, the various locales associated with the
surname, reasons behind alterations in the name,
and so on. Chapter 3 is an annotated bibliography of Chinese and English language sources on
Chinese surnames. The work concludes with separate indexes to family names, authors, titles, and
Chinese-character stroke numbers (one mechanism used for grouping Chinese characters).

AN INDEX TO GRIFFITH’S VALUATION
The Valuation is arranged by county, barony,
poor law union, civil parish, and townland, and
lists every landholder and every householder in
Ireland–at that time about 1.25 million people.
The significance of the Valuation as a substitute
for census records is obvious. No early or mid19th-century Irish census survives; only Griffith’s
Valuation stands as an enumeration of the Irish
population at mid-century—the period of the
Great Famine! Few other records can be used to
identify the immigrant ancestor’s exact place of
origin, and only Griffith’s Valuation links the individual to a specific townland and civil parish.
