318,95 kr. Subsequent to the publication of Hotten's Immigrants, no successful effort had been made to gather together, in one volume, a list of the thousands of persons who came into Virginia during the early period of her life. When the author began his endeavor to supplement Hotten, the records of the Land Office in Richmond remained the only source from which these names could be obtained. Prior to the publication of this work, it was simply impossible, without the most extensive and expensive research, to obtain names of persons who came to Virginia, unless they themselves were patentees of land; and the great majority of immigrants to the colony do not appear as patentees. A list of the immigrants to Virginia has always been a desideratum to the genealogist. To descendants of early Virginia immigrants this work will, in many cases, offer an opportunity to trace their ancestry. It will often be the means of forming the "Missing Link," which is the genealogists' bane. Nearly 25,000 names have been collected from the original records and arranged in alphabetical order. The author's research efforts were systematic and thorough, and, according to Mr. Greer, every name from 1623 (when the records begin) down to 1666 has been noted, with date of appearance. It is believed that this work will be of interest to the general public and invaluable to the historian and antiquarian.

Fentress County, which was formed from Morgan and Overton Counties in 1823, is located in the northern part of Tennessee, east of the center of the State, and lies principally on the Cumberland Plateau. It originally bordered on Kentucky, but Pickett County was formed partly from its northern territory in 1881. Like so many histories written during this period, the first-half of the book describes the topography; industries; famous residents, including Mark Twains description of Jamestown and the surroundings, the county's participation in the Civil War, as well as rosters and information on individuals and participating units; County contributions to other conflicts and campaigns; and additional historical events of interest. The second-half of the work, or Part Two, is dedicated to approximately 350 personal and family sketches, many including information on occupation, marriages, children, and personal accomplishments.

159,95 kr. The German New River Settlement, lying next to what is now known as the Middle New River Settlement of Southwest Virginia, generally is located within the current counties of Pulaski, Giles, and Montgomery counties. In this work, the author, Rev. Heavener, traces the history of the area, the pioneer families and many of the early settlers, as well as contiguous areas and settlements as they relate to periods of discovery and settlement. Rev. Heavener also compiles lists of baptisms, marriage records and other court records and is able to identify most settlers of the German New River Settlement.

282,95 kr. The author's focus was on families with a strong connection to Virginia and Kentucky, most of which are traced forward from the 17th or 18th century. In conducting his research, he was extremely fortunate to have interviewed several of the oldest living members of many of the principal families, in addition to having access to published sources and original records. Following are the names of the Kentucky and Virginia pioneers who figure in Mr. Van Meter's account: Allan, Bigelow, Bruce, Campbell, Clay, Cunningham, Field, Garrard, Hall, Hamilton, Hanna, Harness, Harrison, Hockaday, Holloway, Hull, Johnson, Johnston, Kleiser, Lewis, McNeill, Moore, Moss, Nicholas, Payne, Pettit, Phillips, Prewitt, Rodes, Smith, Stonestreet, Swoope, Van Meter, West, Wetherill, Williams, Willis, Wright, and Yerkes.

- Maine
219,95 kr. The First Census of the United States (1790) comprised an enumeration of the inhabitants of the present states of Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, and Virginia. Unfortunately, during the War of 1812, when the British burned the Capitol at Washington, the returns for several states were destroyed. However, the census records for Maine survived and were available for this 1908 publication. In March 1790, Maine had a population of 96,540, out of a total population of approximately 3,920,000. The information provided in this census includes the Name of Head of Family, the number of free white males of 16 years and upward in the household, the number of free white males and under living in the household, the number of free white females, all other free persons, and the number of slaves (there were no slaves in Maine). Populations are also recorded for Towns and Counties.

330,95 kr. The First Census of the United States (1790) comprised an enumeration of the inhabitants of the present states of Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, and Virginia. Unfortunately, during the War of 1812, when the British burned the Capitol at Washington, the returns for Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky, New Jersey, Tennessee, and Virginia were destroyed. For Virginia, however, taxpayer lists were published in an attempt to partially reconstruct the original returns. Fortunately, the census records for Connecticut survived and were available for this 1908 publication. In March 1790, Connecticut had a population of 237,946, out of a total population of approximately 3,920,000. The information provided in this census includes the Name of Head of Family, the number of free white males of 16 years and upward in the household, the number of free white males and under living in the household, the number of free white females, all other free persons, and the number of slaves. Populations are also recorded for Towns and Counties.

195,95 kr. Excerpted from Part V of Pennsylvania. The German Influence in Its Settlement and Development--A Narrative and Critical History. The Pennsylvania-German Society Proceedings and Addresses, Volume IX. Softcover, (1899), 2001. For anyone interested in researching or advancing their knowledge of the history or genealogy of what is commonly referred to as Pennsylvania Dutch country, this book is crucial. It discusses the original 14,000 emigrants who fled the war-torn German Palatinate for new homes in England and, ultimately, the migration of 4,000 of those individuals on to the Province of New York in America. This work further discusses and enlightens the reader with the various land disputes and unfair and poor treatment afforded these new inhabitants, and documents their actions relative to an ultimate migration to Pennsylvania.

- A Study of the So-Called Pennsylvania Dutch
300,95 kr. In 1901, Oscar Kuhns completed and published his work on the so-called "Pennsylvania Dutch," which documents their history, immigration, and lifestyle up to the Revolutionary War and beyond. This scholarly classic is considered an authoritative reference for these settlers during this period of American history, and is cited in the Harvard Guide to American History. For any researcher focusing on Pennsylvania or this group of emigrants, this book is an invaluable resource. In 268 pages, Professor Kunhs defines and describes the historical context in Europe leading up to the early Swiss German immigration, the settling of the German Counties of Pennstlvania, their manners and customs, language, literature, education, superstitions and religious life. The author devotes an entire chapter discussing the emigrants' attitudes and contributions in the development of Pennsylvania in particular, and the United States in general, as well as political and military participation at both the state and national level. Professor Kuhns' scholarly effort has resulted in a book that has been used for over 100 years as a primary research source for the "Pennsylvania Dutch." Using many of the tools of his profession, the book contains numerous footnotes, an extensive bibliography, an index, as well as an appendix, which is an excellent guide in acquiring knowledge of German family names, their source, development, and English equivalents during the colonial period.
