The Union Baptist Church, founded in 1831, is the oldest African American Baptist church in Ohio. Here, published for the first time, the thousands of burial listings in this volume were abstracted from the church's records for the years 1884 to 1970. No written records are known prior to 1884. Six maps show the location of the cemetery plots. There are over 30,000 burial listings recorded here. To make this huge amount of information more manageable, the editors have separated, out of nearly a century covered by the book, six smaller segments of years. The segments range from seven to twenty-one years, and all the names recorded within each segment are alphabetized.Each entry includes, when available, first and last names of the deceased, birth place, age, date and place of death, marital status and names of kindred. All the information is clearly set forth and easy to read. Some entries include an extra notation with information such as occupation and residence. Where the place of death was in Cincinnati, the name of the hospital is given. The information in this two-volume collection also provides an interesting overview of certain historic changes occurring in America. South to North migration patterns stemming from Cincinnati's role as a link in the "Underground Railroad" or the hardships of the Great Depression, for example, can be confirmed by the place of birth listing. A supplement includes a large list of names not found in the record books but found in the cemetery, with locations of grave sites and dates of interment. There is also a list of veterans buried in this cemetery according to courthouse records but not found in the church's record books. A surname index buried within the entries is also included.

The goal of this work is to help Youtsey descendants connect to their family roots. It is a compilation of information pertaining to Youtsey families living in the United States, which spans more than 250 years. This study begins with the immigrant Johann Peter Youtsey in 1744. He settled in Frederick County, Maryland, and is the progenitor of the Maryland line. The Maryland and main body of the Youtsey family is substantial, with over 2,400 people plus spouses and in-laws.

"Roger de Berchelai came to England with William the Conqueror and was granted Berkeley Castle in Gloucestershire. This early form of the name was believed to be the Anglo-Saxon version of 'beau' meaning beautiful, and 'lee', a meadow or field. Roger was mentioned in the Domesday Book as well as his son, John. In 1069 John de Berchelai accompanied Margaret (later St. Margaret) to Scotland. In gratitude for his service, King Malcolm (Canmore) granted him lands of Towie, near Turriff, in Aberdeenshire, as well as the title, Barclay of that Ilk. ... The Barclays formed important alliances and held land throughout the northeast of Scotland, principally Towie, Mathers, Gartley and Pierston in Aberdeenshire. ... Throughout Scotland, they played important roles in national affairs. ... One of the major Barclay families was established at Urie near Stonehaven in Kincardineshire. The first Laird, Colonel David Barclay, was a professional soldier serving with such armies as that of Gustavus Adolphus." After the war, David Barclay became a Quaker. This volume is divided in two parts: Register Report of David Barclay of Urie and Outline Descendant Tree of David Barclay of Urie. Illustrations, maps and a full-name index enhance the text.
