More than 30 experts in this field--genealogists, historians, librarians, and archivists--prepared the 20 signed chapters, which are well written, easy to read, and include many helpful hints for getting the most out of whatever information is acquired. Each chapter ends with an extensive bibliography and is further enriched by tables, black-and-white illustrations, and examples of documents. Eight appendixes include the expected contact information for groups and institutions that persons studying genealogy and history need to find. ""

Download or read book Early Families of Standish Maine written by Albert J. Sears and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The town of Standish was originally named Pearsontown after Captain Moses Pearson who lead the company of soldiers to victory at the siege of Louisburg. The town was settled at the time of the French and Indian Wars in the 1750s and incorporated as a town in 1784. The first U.S. Census in 1790 lists the town with 123 families, with a total population of 717 persons. This major work is an alphabetically arranged male-line genealogical study of the early families of Standish up to about 1810 (and occasionally into the mid-1800s), with a brief introductory sketch of each family. Information includes (when known): date and place of birth, baptism, marriage, and death of the article's subject; names of spouses, with their birth and death dates and places, and parents' names; occupation; information concerning lots owned and sold in Pearstown (Standish); and occasionally a good bit more biographical information, such as manner of death, church affiliation, military service, numbers and ages of males and females in the household according to census records and tax lists, and the names of owners of adjoining lots. Descendants are often given to the third generation, but rarely to the fourth. Occasional female lines are given, listing the woman's spouse and children, and (when known) the children's' birth, marriage, and death dates and spouses' names. An attempt was made to include the place in which a settler lived before residing in Standish, and if he did not live in Standish permanently, to what location he moved. A proprietor's map of Pearsontown (Standish) and a cross-index of names are included. In preparing this genealogy, Mr. Sears started with the notes of Dr. Albion K. P. Meserve (d.1904) found among the acquisitions of the Maine Historical Society. Mr. Sears supplemented this information with that found in town and county records, town and family histories, church records, pension records, tax lists, census reports, cemetery inscriptions, and Bible records.

Download or read book A Sourcebook for Genealogical Research written by Foster Stockwell and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-09-18 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genealogists can sometimes require obscure resources when in search of information about ancestors. Tracking down records to complete a family tree can become laborious when the researcher doesn't know where to begin looking. Many of the best resources are maintained regionally or even locally, and aren’t widely known. This reference work serves as a guide to both beginning and experienced genealogy researchers. The sourcebook is easily accessible and usable, featuring approximately 270 entries on all aspects of genealogical research and family history compilation. The entries are listed alphabetically and cross-referenced so any researcher can quickly find the information he or she is seeking. Each state and each of the provinces of Canada has its own entry; other countries are listed under appropriate headings. The author also provides more than 700 addresses from all over the world so that the genealogist or general researcher may contact any one of these organizations to obtain specific information about particular births, deaths, marriages, or other life events in order to complete a family tree.
