Today we have selected 10 NEW
WINNERS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For
today's new winners, go to: www.ancestralfindings.com and then
click on "Today's Winners" at the top right of the page.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ==>
Marriage Index: IL, IN, KY, OH, and TN,
1720-1926 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This
database 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 369,000 records
dating from as early as 1720 and continuing to the early 1900s.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ==>
Marriage Index: AL, GA, SC,
1641-1944 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This
database 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. Records total approximately 190,000. They begin as
early as 1641 and continue to the mid-1900s.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ==>
Marriage Index: MD, NC, and VA,
1624-1915 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This
database contains indexes to marriage records for selected counties and
years from 179 counties in three states: Maryland (23), North Carolina (97),
and Virginia (59). There is also one collection from the Maryland Historical
Society (for Maryland), and from W.M.C. (for North Carolina). Records total
approximately 249,500. They begin as early as 1624 and continue to the
early 1900s.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ==>
Marriage Index: Arkansas,
1779-1992 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This
database contains indexes to marriage records for selected counties and
years from 19 counties in the state of Arkansas. The total number of records
is approximately 154,000.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ==>
Vital Records: New Netherland,
1600s --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This
data represents over 1,793 families in the present area of New York and New
Jersey, as well as parts of Delaware and Pennsylvania.
Spanning 1613 to
1674, this is rich and detailed family pedigree information. Because so few
American records are available from this time period, the data takes on
heightened significance. Given that these records start so early in American
history and are quite thorough, a large portion of United States residents
will have at least one ancestor in this group.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ==>
Everton's Family File Vol. 1
1400-Present --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Family
group sheets, such as those collected in this database, are among the most
useful types of records because they compile information on entire families.
Unlike previous publications of Everton's Computerized Family File, which
included just a name index, this database includes an index as well as
images of the actual family group sheets.
Combined, these family
group sheets provide information on approximately 389,000 individuals from
all fifty United States and around the world (including Canada, England,
Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway, Prussia, Scotland, Sweden, and
Switzerland).

A Look at Middle
Names -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Listen
to the names given to children born today and you will almost always find
that the child is given a middle name. Many of us assume that middle names
have always been given to children, but this is a misconception. ...

Bare Bones - The Name
Game -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My
female relatives can be as slippery as secret agents. They pop up on my
radar, only to blip out again. They use nicknames, aliases, and other sorts
of identity tricks. With chameleon-like proclivities, the women in my
searches have pushed me to the limits of my skills and over the edge of
frustration. Consider the case of my father's cousin about whom my
generation knew virtually nothing.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ==>
Paleography
Resources -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The
older the documents we locate, the more challenging they can be to read and
decipher. While this can be frustrating to most researchers, it also can be
downright off-putting. Your research will undoubtedly uncover some of these
documents at some point, and some understanding of paleography is required.
Even old American census records, church records, and deeds can

see the format and column headings for various census years (especially if
the schedules themselves are hard to read), they also provide a clean and
convenient method for extracting and filing important information you
find.
