Church Records: Adams, Berks, and Lancaster Counties, Pennsylvania,
1729-1881 www.freegenealogylookups.com/cd129.htm ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Church
records such as those included here are among the best sources for
information on births, marriages, and deaths for the period of time
before widespread civil registration of vital statistics. This database
contains information on approximately 180,000 individuals mentioned in
abstracts of baptisms, births, marriages, and deaths from the registers of
more than fifty local Pennsylvania churches. The information was extracted
from microfilm records of transcriptions of the original records.
----------------------------------------------------------------------- ==>
Pennsylvania German Church Records, 1729-1870 www.freegenealogylookups.com/cd130.htm ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This
collection is indispensable if you are interested in Pennsylvania German
origins. Documenting births, baptisms, marriages, and burials, these records
identify people and their relationships to one another - not only parents
and children, husbands and wives, but witnesses and sponsors as
well.
----------------------------------------------------------------------- ==>
Veterans' Schedules: U.S. Selected States, 1890 www.freegenealogylookups.com/cd131.htm ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Veteran's
schedules were forms that the census takers had with them when they were
taking the regular population count. In 1890, these extra veterans'
schedules were meant only to record information about Union soldiers and
their widows. However, many census takers also recorded information about
Confederate soldiers, as well as soldiers who served in different wars,
including the War of 1812 and the Mexican-American War. You should note
that these veterans' schedules are often used as a partial substitute for the
1890 federal census, because the federal government's copy was
destroyed by fire. Fragments of the 1890 census may exist in state and
local repositories throughout the U.S., but they are difficult to locate and
not complete. While not listing everyone who would have been included in the
1890 census, the veterans' schedules are a partial head-of-household list
for those who were old enough to have served in the Union Army during the
Civil War.
----------------------------------------------------------------------- ==>
New York Revolutionary War Records, 1775-1840 www.freegenealogylookups.com/cd132.htm ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The
source documents reference approximately 162,000 individuals and cover almost
the entire state of New York.
----------------------------------------------------------------------- ==>
Maryland and Delaware Revolutionary Patriots, 1775-1783 www.freegenealogylookups.com/cd133.htm ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The
eleven volumes reference approximately 104,000 individuals from Maryland and
Delaware who contributed in some fashion as patriots to support
the freedom of the American colonies from the rule of Great Britain. While
many of the individuals listed were soldiers and associators, some rendered
material aid to the army while others served in an office or on a
committee at the town, county, or state level.
----------------------------------------------------------------------- ==>
Massachusetts Civil War Soldiers and Sailors, 1861-1865 www.freegenealogylookups.com/cd134.htm ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Here
you'll find details of the military careers of all men who served
Massachusetts during the Civil War. More than 1,000,000 original records
(ranging from original enlistment papers and muster rolls to
hospital records and town reports) were abstracted to create
the nine-volume work, Massachusetts Soldiers, Sailors, and Marines in the
Civil War.

Have You Checked the State Archives? www.genealogylookups.com/rhonda042403.htm ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The
state archive may be an untapped gold mine. Genealogists spend a lot of time
digging around in many different records and repositories but a lot of
people forget to check a state's archive.

Rich Information from the Emigrant Savings Bank www.freegenealogylookups.com/freea9800.htm ----------------------------------------------------------------------- They
were the shouts heard ‘round the world--or at least around my neighborhood.
The first shout rang out when I found out that Ancestry.com had posted a
database of images of the New York Emigrant Savings Bank records online as
part of its immigration collection. That shout was followed by a series of
frenetic clicks as I began plugging in family names. The next shout was as
I...

Record Those Memories! www.freegenealogylookups.com/tip9801_go.htm ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Please,
please encourage those who are currently doing genealogy research now to
write down their memoirs. My parents are deceased and many "oldies" have
been forgotten, but my brothers and I are exchanging our remembrances of
things our dad use to say. For example, when we were out riding in a car
and one driver would be in a hurry and pass another, he would
say...
----------------------------------------------------------------------- ==>
Pay Attention to Numbering in the Census www.freegenealogylookups.com/tip9811_go.htm ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Make
sure you pay close attention to the family and dwelling numbers that appear
in columns two and three at the left-hand side of censuses taken in
1850 and later. A number of times I have found that pages have either been
originally microfilmed out of order-- or perhaps the order became confused
when the pages were imaged for the Internet. Line numbers in censuses
earlier than 1850 can also be important. Several times I have found that in
these earlier censuses the page listing the names follows the page giving
the totals and other information instead of preceding it like it should.
Occasionally I have found that two pages have been displaced by several
pages.
