Listed Numerically by CD Number

This Family Archive indexes approximately 570,000 individuals who were married in 58 selected parishes (counties) in Louisiana. Records begin as early as 1718 in St. Helens Parish. There are no records for any parishes for the years 1719-1727 and 1729-1733. After 1734, there is a general increase in records throughout the state, and the collection continues into the mid-1900s. Most of these records were compiled from courthouse marriage records. For pre-1850 marriages, it is better to use Family Archive 227, because it is more comprehensive for that time period. Family Archive 227 includes everything that is available on Family Archive 1, plus some additional information.

Marriage indexes can save you research time by telling you that a particular marriage record containing your ancestor's name exists. With the information provided, you may be able to find a newspaper announcement, which may provide more details about the bride, groom, and their families.

This CD contains indexes to marriage records for selected years from 221 selected counties in five states: Illinois (19), Indiana (51), Kentucky (67), Ohio (39), and Tennessee (45). There are approximately 738,000 individuals referenced, starting as early as 1720 and continuing to the early 1900s. Records indexed may not be comprehensive for the time and region covered.

This Family Archive contains indexes to marriage records for selected counties and years from 114 counties in Alabama (32) and Georgia (82). County records were not used for South Carolina; instead, other sources containing marriage records were compiled. Approximately 379,000 individuals are referenced, starting as early as 1641 and continuing to the mid-1900s. Records indexed may not be comprehensive for the time and region covered.

This Family Archive contains indexes to marriage records for selected counties and years from 161 counties in four states: Arkansas (11), Mississippi (83), Missouri (24), and Texas (82). Approximately 1,047,000 individuals are referenced, beginning as early as 1766 and continuing to 1981. Records indexed may not be comprehensive for the time and region covered.

This Family Archive contains indexes to marriage records for selected counties and years from 19 counties in the state of Arkansas. Approximately 308,000 individuals are referenced.

This Family Archive contains approximately 100,000 family groupings from Everton's Family File Volumes 1 and 2 and "Roots" Cellar Volume 1, providing information on about 1 million individuals total. Most of these groupings are from the United States and Europe, but some are from Latin America, Canada, the Pacific Islands, and Asia

Settled by the British in 1627, Barbados was home to many inhabitants who later relocated to mainland America, settling in Virginia, Georgia, the Carolinas, and other colonies. In fact, throughout most of the 17th and 18th centuries, there was a continuous flow of settlers from Barbados to virtually every point along the Atlantic seaboard. As a result, many families can trace their origins in the New World first to Barbados.

This data set contains page images from six volumes compiled by Joanne McRee Sanders and published by the Genealogical Publishing Company. Barbados's surviving parish registers were copied during the mid-19th century and are now housed in the Barbados Department of Archives. The information compiled and presented in these volumes was taken from those registers. Information available varies by record type, and great deal of instructive material can be found in the Foreword or Preface to each volume. Approximately 200,000 individuals are referenced in these baptism, marriage, and probate source records.

Family Archives can simplify genealogical research and save you weeks of research time. This Family Archive CD contains the text of three directories compiled by Elizabeth Petty Bentley: "County Courthouse Book" (2nd edition), "Directory of Family Associations" (1993-1994 edition), and "The Genealogist's Address Book" (3rd edition). The texts of these books were provided by the Genealogical Publishing Company of Baltimore, Maryland. In all, the three books on this CD reference over 21,000 addresses vital to both beginning and experienced researchers at each and every turn of the research process.

For your convenience, Brøderbund Software has provided search capabilities that span all three of the books. However, when you look at the Contents page of this Family Archive, you will not see the title of each book listed. Instead, you will see the sections and chapters from each of the books. They are in an order that will assist you in finding the data you need in the combined books.

Ms. Bentley wishes to thank "the thousands of correspondents who generously took the time to answer my own inquiries. I'm also indebted to the staff of the Connecticut Valley History Museum Library and Archives, the LDS library, the Nielsen Library at Smith College, the Western New England College Law Library, and to Michael Tepper, Eileen Perkins, Joe Garonzik, Marion Hoffman, and Nancy Gillio at the Genealogical Publishing Company. I would welcome additions and corrections to the present text from any readers who may find omissions or errors."

In addition, Ms. Bentley has this to say: "I'm increasingly concerned...at the number of agencies which requested that their

addresses be withheld. They cited the inability of their limited staffs to cope with the mounting demands of genealogists -- hobbyists, in their view, rather than serious scholars. To avoid having even more facilities close their doors, all mail inquiries should be as brief and concise as possible, asking only for specific information, and including a self-addressed, stamped envelope and a donation to offset copying, postage, and research costs or else requesting an estimate or fee schedule before any work is undertaken. Even if an organization has no research services, the contact person may still be able to refer you to a local professional who can help."

"County Courthouse Book" contains addresses, telephone numbers, and descriptions of holdings for U.S. county courthouses. In addition, it includes informative state profiles and cross-references to name changes and extinct towns and counties. You can find information such as the year a county was organized, for what years different types of records are available in a county, and whether any of a county's records have been destroyed. This information is based largely upon responses to questionnaires. Over 4,700 counties, cities, and towns across the country were polled, and nearly sixty-five percent responded, as noted by the asterisks preceding those entries.

The questionnaires requested verification of address, telephone number, and the jurisdiction's date of organization and provenance. In addition, the questionnaires asked how researchers should contact the offices holding land records, vital records, naturalization records, and probate records, as well as the dates covered by the holdings of those offices. Please note that vital records are somewhat under-reported, since some offices did not include marriages in that category. Finally, the questionnaires requested information about the fees for searching and photocopying and restrictions on the records' use.

In "County Courthouse Book," a specific office's address is given only if it is different from the main address. Where the notation "Contact Recorder," "Contact Clerk," etc., appears, contact these officials at the main address. Where a clerk or other official is listed by name, it isn't usually necessary to contact only that person, but to address his or her office.

In a few instances, where only partial information was available from the returned questionnaire or secondary sources, the entry will appear incomplete. In these cases, and in cases where there was no response at all, refer to the summary of judicial organization at the beginning of each state's listing and to other jurisdictions in the state to determine the pattern of record-keeping and the average fees for the area. Note especially whether neighboring counties reported having naturalization records. Many jurisdictions that previously claimed to have none now report finding some. Most naturalizations are now recorded by the Immigration and Naturalization Service, so those that were recorded earlier in the general court dockets, often undifferentiated and unindexed, are rarely consulted now and mostly forgotten.

The information in "County Courthouse Book" is aimed primarily at research that is done by mail, so office hours, per diem reading-room fees, etc. are not listed. Most agencies allow individuals to come and view their records in person. However, they may require positive identification, restrict the availability of fragile originals, and curtail browsing in files containing confidential information. It's always advisable to phone ahead for an appointment before visiting, especially to town offices. If a personal visit is impossible, mailed requests should be kept very specific and include a self-addressed, stamped envelope.

"Directory of Family Associations" is a collection of information about associations, reunions, surname exchanges, databases on single surnames or related groups, and independent periodicals. (Foreign listings are not included.) It is an excellent resource for making contact with family members, sharing information about family history, finding what family associations and publications exist, arranging reunions, discovering who's out there and where you connect on the family tree, and finding out where you can go with your own research.

The data in this compilation is also based largely upon responses to direct-mail questionnaires. By their very nature, many of these organizations lack the staffs to answer mail queries, so in numerous instances, information was gleaned from notices appearing in the standard family history journals and newsletters. An asterisk before an entry indicates that the organization responded for either the first or second edition of "Directory of Family Associations".

The questionnaires requested the following information: name and address (both location and mailing address, if these were different), telephone number, contact person (with title), periodical title (if any), frequency of publication, cost of subscription or membership, and some indication of what surnames are included, or if the group is restricted to the descendants of a particular ancestral couple. Naturally, all information is subject to change.

Among those groups and individuals who are listed as publishers of periodicals, there are some whose publications are issued irregularly or for a per-issue price. It's sometimes hard to distinguish between these "periodicals" and published family histories that are updated occasionally. It's also nearly impossible to distinguish by the title between a one-page newsletter, giving nothing more than reunion information, and the more scholarly journals reporting ongoing primary research. Frequency of publication and costs per issue could give a clue; however, that information is not included in this directory because it is so quickly outdated.

In addition, many associations listed may not be primarily genealogical in nature, focusing more on gathering information about the current generations and maintaining social ties among living family members. Perhaps it is better to err by including too many, rather than too few, even if the reference proves to be disappointing in the end.

"The Genealogist's Address Book" is the answer to the question, "What's out there in the world of genealogy? What organizations, institutions, special resources, or publications can help me? Where are they located? Who do I write to or phone?" It puts you in touch with all the key sources of information, providing names, addresses, telephone numbers, contact persons, business hours, and descriptions of holdings for government agencies, societies, libraries, archives, professional bodies, periodicals, newspaper columns, publishers, booksellers, services, databases, bulletin boards, and much more. The "Periodicals and Newsletters" section on this Family Archive CD is an alphabetical list of all of the genealogical periodicals and newsletters mentioned in "The Genealogist's Address Book." If you can't remember the exact name of a publication that you are interested in, you can scroll through this list to jog your memory.

Currently, the scope of "The Genealogist's Address Book" has increased to include a greater variety of historical societies and libraries than in previous years. This is not because these organizations have necessarily expanded their genealogical collections, but because readers requested the information. Perhaps this is because understanding the historical context is critical to rigorous genealogical methods.

The information in "The Genealogist's Address Book" is based largely upon responses to direct-mail questionnaires, supplemented by information from printed sources. The questionnaires asked for name and address correction, plus telephone numbers, contact persons (with titles), library hours, periodical titles, and specialties. Of course, some responses were more expansive than others, and some organizations did not respond, presumably because the information was correct as it appeared in the questionnaire. Organizations that did respond to these questionnaires have an asterisk next to their names.

Naturally, all information is subject to change -- addresses, personnel, hours of operation, telephone numbers, and even the names of organizations and their publications. Editorial considerations required the omission of the costs of memberships, subscriptions, and searches, because that information seems to change most frequently.

Because this Family Archive contains free-form text, you can search on any type of information, such as a county name, surname, or association name. Be careful not to search on something that is too common, such as "county," because it will return more matches than you probably want and will take a long time. If you search for a location containing a state name, be sure to use the two-letter abbreviation for the state. For example, you would want to search on "Juneau, AK," not "Juneau, Alaska."

If you are having difficulty locating a surname, try searching on variant spellings of the name or search with wildcards (* and ?). For example, if you were trying to locate the name "Hawkins," you might try variant spellings such as "Hakins." If you searched on "Hawkin*", you would get matches such as "Hawkins" and "Hawkinson." When searching for records, note that events that occurred in a locality before the current jurisdiction assumed its present boundaries should also be sought in the town, county, territory, or state from which the younger jurisdiction was formed. The governing body that retained the area's original name usually retained all the records created before the split. (Note that territorial records are held by the federal government.)

This Family Archive contains images of the pages of 13 books covering New England family histories and genealogies spanning the 1600s to the 1800s. The books reference approximately 140,000 names. This CD can save you research time by telling you about an individual with your ancestor's name who lived in New England during the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. Please note that some of the individuals included on the CD may not have lived in New England in this time period, but were mentioned in the genealogy of someone who did. For convenience and easy searching, an electronic index of all 13 books is included on this CD.

This data set contains all of the following thirteen family histories:

• A Genealogical History of the Rehoboth Branch of the Carpenter Family

• Descendants of Edward Colburn/Coburn

• A History of the Town of Keene

• History of the Kimball Family in America

• The Leavitts of America

• Register of the Middlebrook Family

• Prominent Men and Women of the Day

• History of Salem, MA Vol. I (1626-1637)

• History of Salem, MA Vol. II (1638-1670)

• History of Salem, MA Vol. III (1671-1716)

• Records of William Spooner

• The History of Weare, New Hampshire

• History of the Wheeler Family in America

This data set contains over two million records referencing individuals from all regions of Canada, as well as early Alaska. The vast majority of the records fall between 1600 and the mid-to-late 1900s, although some records date before the 1500s. Gleaned during twenty years of research from over one thousand different sources — including city directories, marriage records, land records, census records, and more — this collection of names represents one of the most complete indexes to Canadian historical records available.

This index helps you locate a particular individual at a specific place and point in time. In general, each record in the index tells you about an event, giving the individual's name, and usually also the year and location where the event took place. Each record typically also tells you what the source of this information is, so you can refer to the original materials for more details about the individual. Knowing a name, location, and year, may help you find your ancestor in other records of genealogical value, which are not necessarily included in this index.

Locations Covered

Here you will find the locations covered by this data set as well as the number of records referenced by each. Please note that this is a breakdown of the provinces associated with the original record source. In most cases, this is the same as the location where the event took place. However, there are times when it may be different. For example, a book about an Ontario family may indicate that an individual was born in England. Thus, the location of the event is England, but the province associated with the record source is still Ontario, because the book is about an Ontario family. Also note that approximately three percent of the records are associated with locations outside of Canada, such as the United States and England.

• Rolls of Connecticut Men in the French and Indian War, 1755-1762 (Two Volumes)
  by Alfred C. Bates
  With reference to more than 17,000 individuals colonists this work represents the most complete record available on Connecticut colonists who took part in the French and Indian War. In addition, you'll find record of approximately 300 men who participated in a 1764 campaign against the Indians that was spawned by the War.
  
  The rolls are arranged in chronological order (i.e., by campaign) and then by regiment and company. For an individual listed, you'll generally learn name, date of enlistment, and date of discharge or death. Each volume includes an informative introduction as well two indexes - a name index and index to company commanders.

Generally, you'll learn: pensioner's or widow's place of residence age of pensioner or widow, description of pensioner's military service, and date and place of pensioner's death.
  In all cases the source of the pension record is identified: survivor's file, widow's file, rejected file, or bounty land warrant.
• The Record of Connecticut Men in the Military and Naval Service During the War of the Revolution, 1775-1783
  by Henry P. Johnston
  Because it is such a comprehensive work, The Record of Connecticut Men in the Military and Naval Service During the War of the Revolution, 1775-1783 can serve as the starting point for researching Connecticut's participation in the American Revolution. In more than 780 pages, the volume covers almost all primary sources pertaining to Connecticut men in the Revolution. These records include: minutes of the General Assembly and Governor's office, muster rolls, pay rolls, accounts, diaries, maps, and the papers of George Washington and Connecticut Revolutionary governor John Trumbull.
  
  The personnel records are arranged by military unit and, then, by date and rank. The work begins with the men who volunteered in response to the Lexington Alarm of 1775 and continues with Connecticut troops in the Continental Army (including the regiments of the Connecticut Line), state troops or levies, the Connecticut militia, Connecticut naval units, and, finally, miscellaneous rolls and pension lists. Lists of Connecticut pensioners found in the 1818 and 1840 U.S. pension lists supplement the rosters themselves.
• Supplement to the 'The Record of Connecticut Men in the Military and Naval Service During the War of the Revolution, 1775-1783'
• Volume I: Rolls and Lists of Connecticut Men in the Revolution, 1775-1783.
• Volume II: Lists and Returns of Connecticut Men in the Revolution, 1775-1783
  Connecticut Historical Society
  Originally published as volumes VIII and XII of Collections of the Connecticut Historical Society, these two volumes contain all of the Revolutionary War service records held by the Connecticut Historical Society. At least half of the records in Volume I pertain to militia or naval units and most of the rosters provide the following information: company, rank, dates of service, and campaigns in which the individual was involved.
  
  Volume II is a comprehensive roster of the thousands of soldiers of the Connecticut Line who served in the Revolution. For each of the individuals identified in volume II, you'll learn their hometown or place of birth. Together these two volumes contain references to nearly 30,000 Connecticut soldiers of the Revolutionary era.

Pinpoint your ancestors' Virginia military service with this comprehensive collection of source material from the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. Search through a variety of records for approximately 269,000 Virginia military personnel.

The records collected within the indexed images of these eleven books were extracted from sources ranging from local court houses to national archives. Original sources include bounty land applications, militia rosters, pension applications, muster and pay rolls, depositions, petitions, militia lists, orderly books, and service records.

Among the unique resources collected here, you'll find one of the most ambitious collections of Revolutionary War source materials ever published (Gaius Marcus Brumbaugh's Revolutionary War Records: Virginia) along with information on all regiment members who served under George Washington. In addition, you'll find record of all Virginia soldiers and sailors who received land warrants in present-day Kentucky.

While the majority of the records reference the Revolutionary War and War of 1812, you'll also find record of individuals who served in the French and Indian War, the Indian Wars, Lord Dunmore's War, and other incidents prior to the Revolutionary War. This Family Archive was produced in collaboration with the Genealogical Publishing Company.


What are the data sources for this product?

• Virginia's Colonial Soldiers
  by Lloyd DeWitt Bockstruck
  An authoritative register of Virginia's colonial soldiers, this volume includes information taken from county court minutes and orders, bounty land applications and warrants, court martial records, county militia rosters, Hening's Statutes at Large, the Draper manuscripts, and manuscripts in the Public Record Office in London. More than a catalogue of names and dates, it includes the military's "size" rolls which routinely give the soldier's place of birth, age, residence, occupation, and physical description. Sometimes you'll even find an enlisting officer's impressions of the soldier.
  
• Revolutionary War Records: Virginia
  by Gaius Marcus Brumbaugh
  Based on widely scattered and little known records, this 700+ page compilation is known as one of the most ambitious collections of Revolutionary War source materials ever published. Described as "a treasure house of information about Virginians in the Revolutionary War," it contains list after list of soldiers and sailors extracted from bounty land warrants, pension applications, land scrip records, records of the State Line and the Continental Line, militia records, Half Pay applications, etc. According to The Virginia Genealogist (Vol. 12, No. 2), "This is one of those basic volumes which should be in any major genealogical collection."
  
• Virginia Soldiers of 1776 (Three Volumes)
  by Louis A. Burgess
  The records collected here serve to establish proof of Revolutionary service and descent of bounty land. They include bounty warrants, military certificates, exchange warrants, and land vouchers. Annexed to these claims are certificates of heirship, wills, and powers of attorney, and 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 Colonial Militia, 1651-1776
  by William Armstrong Crozier
  This work references several thousand officers and soldiers complete with information on their rank, service, and any land they received. The information was collected from militia rosters of various counties, county court order books, and land bounty certificates.
  
• List of the Colonial Soldiers of Virginia
  by Hamilton J. Eckenrode
  This list of colonial soldiers includes the names of those who were known to have been engaged in active service in the French and Indian War, the Indian Wars, Lord Dunmore's War, and other incidents prior to the Revolution. Drawn from company rolls, bounty applications, the Washington Papers in the Library of Congress, Hening's Statutes at Large, and Journals of the House of Burgesses, this list represents a large proportion of the entire Virginia militia. It is believed that almost all members of the Virginia regiment under George Washington are accounted for here. In all, approximately 6,700 soldiers are identified in this work, each with references to the exact source of information.
  
• Historical Register of Virginians in the Revolution
  by John H. Gwathmey
  A compilation of more than 65,000 names, this definitive work on Virginians in the Revolution was collected from the files of the War and Navy Departments, the State Archives and Land Office, County Court order books and early histories.
  
  For officers listed, you'll learn dates of their commissions, when they took their oaths of allegiance, their promotions, and any citations for gallantry, deaths, and amounts of bounty land awarded them. Even with privates, for whom data is notoriously limited, the author was able to find men who were receiving pensions long after the war and, thus, establish their post-war residences.
  
  For persons interested in tracing the descendants of Virginia soldiers and for those who wish to understand the magnitude of Virginia's contribution to the American cause, this volume is invaluable.

This 1999 Edition of Family Archive 160 references more than 8,000 pages of collected New York records. Approximately 3,000 of those pages are new in this update. It contains information from 15 years of quarterly publications produced by KINSHIP: The Capital, The Columbia, The Mohawk, and The Saratoga. The Family Archive was formerly titled "State Index: Upstate New York."

Since the information contained in this Family Archive was uniquely gleaned from private attics and obscure local archives, it is especially valuable -- it would be nearly inaccessible otherwise. Records were collected from a great variety of local New York sources including newspapers, churches, cemeteries, account books, schools, doctors' daybooks, and town directories.

Most of the information referenced on this Family Archive has not been published anywhere else. More than 300,000 individuals from the Hudson River Valley counties of Albany, Columbia, Rensselaer, Saratoga and the Mohawk Valley counties of Fulton, Herkimer, Montgomery, and Schenectady are indexed.

The Mayflower pilgrims may be the most celebrated immigrants to the United States. This Family Archive contains images of the pages from the following five books by Susan E. Roser: Mayflower Births and Deaths, Volumes I and II, Mayflower Increasings, Mayflower Marriages, and Mayflower Deeds and Probates, all originally published by Genealogical Publishing Company. Combined, the records reference the names of almost 82,000 individuals and date from the 1600s to the 1900s. Mrs. Roser compiled these books by extracting records from the "Bowman Files." George Ernest Bowman was a genealogist who spent fifty years tracing the families of the Mayflower passengers, amassing more than 20,000 pages of documented records. The Massachusetts Society of Mayflower Descendants called his work "the largest documented manuscript resource on Mayflower genealogy." Now with the added convenience of an electronic index that spans all five books, this collection is essential to any Mayflower researcher's library.

What you can find on this Family Archive CD:

What you can learn about each individual varies. For example, Mayflower Increasings provides names, dates, locations, spouses, children, and sources for locating additional records. Mayflower Marriages provides names, dates, and sources, as well as lines of descent within each marriage. From Mayflower Births and Deaths you can learn, names, dates, and locations, plus burial locations, causes of death, and addresses at the time of death. Finally, records in Mayflower Deeds and Probates include names, occupations, residences, land prices and acreages, names of witnesses and heirs, and more.

Originally published by the Genealogical Publishing Company, these five volumes contain information on approximately 200,000 individuals with ties to New England.

This CD contains images of virtually every article on births, baptisms, marriages, and deaths that ever appeared in the two most important Pennsylvania periodicals, The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography and The Pennsylvania Genealogical Magazine. The three volumes, originally published by Genealogical Publishing Company, primarily cover the time period from about 1740-1830 and reference more than 87,000 individuals. For the period prior to 1820, they offer researchers one of the best opportunities for making ancestral connections in Pennsylvania. The importance of this collection also stems from the fact that neither the State of Pennsylvania nor the individual counties had a centralized system of collecting vital information during the time period covered by these records. The records tend to focus on the eastern third of the state. However, there are some records for earlier periods as well as the western and middle third of the state. For convenience and easy searching, an alphabetical name index of all three volumes is included on the CD.

What you can find on this Family Archive CD:

The type of record available for each individual on this CD varies, but birth, death, marriage, baptism records are among the most common records in the collection.

This data set is made up of indexed marriage, will, land, military, and tax records from a variety of highly-regarded genealogical and historical publications. Until now, accessing these records was possible only through libraries and genealogical bookstores. Now, records for more than 138,000 individuals are indexed and at your fingertips!

The records referenced date mainly from the 1600s to the 1800s and represent one of the largest existing collections of Virginia records. In general, the records you'll find here will provide you with the date and location of an important family event, plus the names of the individuals involved.

What are the data sources for this product?

Here you'll find more than 93,000 individuals referenced. The majority of the materials cover the years 1800 to 1850 and represent 76 of Ohio's 88 counties. What you can learn about each listed individual varies according to the original record, but this data offers a wide variety of important genealogical source materials.

What you can learn about each listed individual varies, depending on the article. Invariably, the information will help you locate a particular individual at a specific place and point in time. Learning a location, and date from these records may help you find your ancestor in other genealogical records not necessarily included in this collection. In some cases, particularly when your ancestor's name appears in a marriage record, will, or deed, you will also be able to establish family relationships. Also note that if you do find one of your ancestors among these records, it is likely that you will find a connection to a family line from the thirteen original colonies. This is because the Ohio area was one of the first to be settled north of the Mason-Dixon line and west of the thirteen original colonies. With the added convenience of a name index spanning both volumes, Gateway to the West makes an excellent addition to any Ohio researcher's library.
What are the data sources for this product?
This data set contains page images from the two-volume book Gateway to the West. Ruth Bowers and Anita Short compiled this book from over 350 articles that originally appeared in the Gateway to the West periodical, published in Ohio from 1967 to 1978.

Although an especially valuable resource for tracing your family tree, family histories such as these are often difficult to locate since they are usually not published for wide distribution. A family history is a written account of a family's immediate and extended relationships. Often, a family history begins with an explanation how a family's surname was derived. Then, beginning with the oldest known ancestor, family lines are traced up to the time of publication. Along with biographical information on each family member, this often includes illustrations or photographs of individuals or places significant to the family. You'll also be able to learn details of personal characteristics and daily life that aren't generally available in other genealogical records.

Family history articles are especially unique because they are compiled from a great variety of sources such as newspaper abstracts, town records, Bible records, and probate records. You may find the following information about an ancestor referenced within these six volumes:

• Names and descriptions of family members
• Dates and details of vital events
• General characteristics
• Occupation, Age, Residence

What are the data sources for this product?
This Family Archive is made up of the images of the pages from all five volumes of Genealogies of Virginia Families as well as the single volume titled Virginia Gleanings in England. Originally published by the Genealogical Publishing Company, these collections of family history articles are especially useful because they often show the English connections of colonial Virginians.

The five volume set entitled Genealogies of Virginia Families consists of family history articles originally published in The William and Mary College Quarterly Historical Magazine between 1892 and 1942. The family history articles included in Virginia Gleaning in England were first published in The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography between 1903 and 1926.

This Family Archive contains all four volumes of Genealogies of Virginia Families from Tyler's Quarterly Historical and Genealogical Magazine and the complete set of Virginia Colonial Abstracts originally published by the Genealogical Publishing Company.

This Family Archive contains images of the pages from the New Jersey Biographical Index. Throughout the 1800s, with the development of canals, railroads and eventually roadways, New Jersey secured itself as a major transportation corridor between the Northeast and South. With the creation of the nation's first factory town, workers from throughout the East coast settled in New Jersey. It continues to be a strong industrial state with links to New York City, Philadelphia, and other key cities in the region.

Originally published by the Genealogical Publishing Company, the New Jersey Biographical Index references nearly 2,000 volumes of 237 periodicals and sources. In all, it includes approximately 60,000 individuals and covers the entire state of New Jersey in the 1800s. The biographies indexed are valuable because of the strong connection between biography and family history. All of the biographies are based on information provided by the subjects or their immediate families and often, there is more than one sketch of the same individual. With the added convenience of an electronic index, this Family Archive CD now provides easier access to an excellent collection of New Jersey references.

What you can find on this Family Archive CD:

The biographies indexed are taken from a great variety of sources including biographical encyclopedias, histories, annual reports and other serials, and selected periodicals. Almost all are New Jersey publications, and several provide not only biographies but also genealogical sketches.

Originally published by the Genealogical Publishing Company, these volumes contain information about approximately 132,000 individuals. Both series of books contain genealogies that cover a broad spectrum of Southern families. The volumes that make up Notable Southern Families, for example, are among the best known works on Southern genealogy ever published and reference thousands of individuals of Cavalier, Scotch-Irish, and Huguenot heritage. For your convenience and to make these important references fully accessible, Broderbund has provided an electronic name index that allows you to search for your ancestors quickly and easily.

This Family Archive contains images of the pages of all six volumes of the Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy originally published by the Genealogical Publishing Company. This is an especially valuable resource considering that almost half of all persons who can trace their ancestry in America prior to 1850 have Quaker ancestors. Approximately 455,000 Quakers who resided in New Jersey, New York, the Carolinas, Tennessee, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries are referenced within these pages.

These six volumes were compiled by William Wade Hinshaw from monthly meeting records and are among the most important works on Quaker genealogy ever published. According to the National Genealogical Society Quarterly, these volumes represent "One of the indisputably great moments of genealogical research in the twentieth century." (Volume XXXVIII, Number 2, June 1950).

The information contained in these volumes is of great importance because Quakers did not have their vital statistics recorded in civil offices prior to 1850. The records kept by Friends Monthly Meetings during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries usually consisted of births, deaths, marriages, and, of great importance, certificates of removal for Society of Friends members who relocated from one meeting to another.
What are the data sources for this product?
No class or group of records, religious or secular, has been as meticulously kept as Quaker records. The oldest Quaker records span three centuries of American history and illustrate a general trend of migration from New England and the middle Atlantic states southward to Virginia, the Carolinas, and Georgia, and west into the Northwest Territory to Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and beyond. The importance of these records cannot be overestimated. Not until recently have Quaker vital statistics been recorded in civil offices; thus, for about two centuries the only vital records concerning these people are to be met with in the Quaker records themselves. The records are monuments of painstaking documentation, recording births, marriages, and deaths, as well as evidence of removal from one meeting to another. (The monthly meeting, during which information is recorded is, in fact a business meeting.)

Hinshaw's "Encyclopedia" is estimated to contain well over a half-million entries. The compilation was a tremendous achievement and represented almost a lifetime of labor. In its production, thousands of records were located and abstracted into a uniform and intelligible system of abbreviations. In general, the material is arranged by meeting, then alphabetically by family name, and chronologically thereunder. Each volume contains a history of the yearly meeting and each monthly meeting is preceded by a brief historical sketch.

North Carolina — Volume I
Containing every item of genealogical value found in all records and minutes of the thirty-three monthly meetings which belong, or ever belonged, to the North Carolina yearly meeting of Friends (whose records are known to be still in existence).

This is the first volume of Quaker church records complete in itself, for the monthly meetings of the Carolinas and Tennessee which were part of the North Carolina Yearly Meeting. The records consist of every item of genealogical value including births, marriages, deaths, and minutes of proceedings, grouped together for each meeting by families, in alphabetical order, and covering the period from 1680 through the early 1930s. The minutes relating to certificates of removal are numerous and of great genealogical interest, particularly as they give evidence either of membership in a previous monthly meeting or membership in a new meeting, thus enabling genealogists to trace Quaker ancestors from one place to another. Records contained herein refer to the following monthly meetings:

• Perquimans (Piney Woods), NC
• Pasquotank (Symons Creek), NC
• Suttons Creek, NC
• Rich Square, NC
• Core Sound, NC

New Jersey and Pennsylvania — Volume II
Containing every item of genealogical value found in all records and minutes (known to be in existence) of four of the oldest monthly meetings which ever belonged to the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting of Friends.

This volume is complete in itself for the New Jersey and Pennsylvania monthly meetings which were part of the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting. It includes all records of genealogical value, Orthodox and Hicksite, known to be in existence for the meetings from the latter quarter of the seventeenth century down to the time the work was originally published (1938). The records are (1) of births and deaths and (2) minutes and marriages, grouped together in alphabetical order by family name, in two sections for each meeting. For the researcher's convenience the marriages are recorded under the names of both brides and grooms. The work also contains invaluable abstracts of certificates of removal and admission and actions of disownment. Records contained in this work are those of the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting and include Salem Monthly Meeting (NJ), Burlington Monthly Meeting (NJ), Philadelphia Monthly Meeting (PA), and Falls Monthly Meeting (PA). Brief sketches of the various meetings place the work in historical perspective and document the original records. As with the other volumes in the set, a master index covers the whole of the volume.

New York — Volume III
Containing every item of genealogical value found in all records and minutes (known to be in existence) of all meetings of all grades ever organized in New York City and on Long Island (1657 to the present time) including both Hicksite and Orthodox groups of the New York Yearly Meeting of the Society of Friends.

The material in this volume consists of data of genealogical interest recorded in the books of four monthly meetings covering the activities of the members of twenty-two Meetings for Worship and other meetings in New York City and Long Island. These records are supplemented by information found in family bibles of early Long Island Quakers; also by burial registers and tombstone data from several burial grounds, Quaker and non-Quaker. Births, marriages, deaths, and certificates of removal are grouped together by meeting and arranged in alphabetical order under the family name. About 370 pages are devoted to the important New York City Monthly Meeting; smaller sections cover the Flushing, Westbury, and Jericho Monthly Meetings. Unusual importance is attached to this book in that every item in the entire volume was extracted from original books of records and minutes and alphabetized by John Cox, Jr., author of Quakerism in the City of New York, 1657-1930 (1930).

Ohio — Volume IV
Listing marriages, births, deaths, certificates, disownments, etc. and much collateral information of interest to genealogy, history, biology, and social conditions Volumes IV and V comprise a two-volume set, each volume containing about half of the Ohio Quaker genealogical records.

Virginia — Volume VI
Completed under tremendous difficulty (Hinshaw died shortly after compilation of the material), the sixth volume of this monumental reference work deals with Virginia Quaker genealogical records.

Virginia Yearly Meeting (later disbanded and attached to Baltimore Yearly Meeting) comprised thirteen monthly meetings and all particular meetings ever established within the state of Virginia with the following exceptions: (1) those particular meetings west of the Blue Ridge in the Valley of Virginia and those immediately south of the Potomac (belonging to Philadelphia Yearly Meeting and later Baltimore Yearly Meeting), and (2) the nine particular meetings in the extreme southwestern part of the state (belonging to North Carolina Yearly Meeting).

As in the preceding volumes, births, marriages, and deaths are arranged by monthly meeting, then alphabetically by family name and thereunder chronologically, with all names listed in the index at the end of the book. In addition to the records of the monthly meetings named below (at which the vital statistics were meticulously recorded), this volume includes separate sections containing the marriage bonds of Campbell and Bedford counties.

While not all families are represented, almost every name distinguished in early America will be found in the Compendium. The Compendium was compiled largely from lineage records and manuscript genealogies submitted by individuals selected for inclusion, many of which were illustrated with photographs, portraits, and coats of arms.

Because these genealogies were not created by professionals, the Compendium is known to contain errors. It is suggested that you verify the information with other sources before adding the information to your own family tree. These historical volumes would cost at least $325 when purchased separately as books, but you can access them together here for just a fraction of that price.
