======================================================================
==> The Encyclopedia of Quaker Genealogy, 1740-1930
======================================================================
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.

======================================================================
==> Pennsylvania, 1740-1900 County and Family Histories
======================================================================
This database is unique because it provides not only family histories
but county histories as well. You can learn, for example, not only
that your ancestor was married in Butler County in 1800 but what
Butler County was like in 1800. With this information you are able
to gain a more complete understanding of your ancestors and the
times and locations in which they lived.

======================================================================
==> Massachusetts & Maine Family Histories, 1650s-1930
======================================================================
This database contains pages from Cape Cod Library of Local History
and Genealogy and Massachusetts and Maine Families. Originally
published by the Genealogical Publishing Company, these volumes
contain information about approximately 77,000 individuals. Since
relatively few Cape Cod records have survived, the 108 histories
and essays collected in Cape Cod Library of Local History and
Genealogy are valuable resources. They can provide a better
understanding of the period in which your ancestors lived.
Massachusetts and Maine Families documents the complete ancestry
of Walter Goodwin Davis. Almost anyone with considerable New
England ancestry will descend from one or more of the 180 families
included in this database.

======================================================================
==> Maryland Marriages and Genealogies, 1634-1820
======================================================================
Here you'll find six volumes of comprehensive Maryland family
histories and marriages. Three of the volumes contain detailed
family histories, some gleaned from the Maryland Historical Magazine,
while the rest contain listings of Maryland marriages.

==> Birth Index: Southeastern Pennsylvania, 1680-1800
======================================================================
This database lists approximately 476,000 individuals who either
resided in or were born in Southeastern Pennsylvania before 1800.
This comprehensive index identifies fathers, mothers and children
in a region that is genealogically significant for Americans with
eighteenth-century European or United States ancestry. These records,
found in 213 church, meeting, and pastoral records and compiled by
John T. Humphrey, were originally published in a thirteen-volume set
entitled Pennsylvania Births.

======================================================================
==> Reference Corner: State Vital Records
======================================================================
When available, vital records can play a vital role in locating our
ancestors. Because availability, restrictions, fees, and request
procedures vary from state to state and change periodically, it is
a good idea to check with the appropriate agency for the state of
interest to make sure you have the most current information. This
week's reference corner contains a list of links for each state in
the U.S. for requesting vital records.

======================================================================
==> Different Sorts of Kinship, or, What Did Cousin Mean 150 Years Ago?
======================================================================
It is a census entry which usually sparks the question. You wonder
exactly what it means when the record shows a resident of a household
as a cousin, or niece, or sister-in-law or any one of the many
relationship terms in the English language...

======================================================================
==> Grandma’s Clippings
======================================================================
This article is never going to get written. I am finding it too easy
to become distracted. My grandmother gave me three boxes of photos,
clippings, and family genealogies. Between things I never knew,
pictures I had never seen, and things I had long since forgotten, I
am nearly overwhelmed.

In this week’s column, let’s take a look at a few of the newspaper
clippings and discuss some lessons learned and ideas for follow-up.

Census extraction forms are doubly valuable: not only do they allow
researchers to 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.
