Kegley’s Virginia Frontier
Kegley’s Virginia Frontier is a mammoth work detailing the social, religious, and family life in Southwest Virginia from 1730 to 1790.Kegley focuses particularly on the settlers themselves. He identifies each newcomer with his place of settlement, and then examines the pioneer’s experiences and subsequent movements, using nearly three dozen maps to show more definitively the location of settlements and important homesteads. There are biographical sketches and countless lists of land grants and deeds of conveyance identifying thousands of early frontier settlers.

Directory of Scots Banished to the American Plantations, 1650-1775. New 2nd Edition!
This new second edition of the Directory of Scots Banished to the American Plantations, 1650-1775 contains fully 30% more convict passengers than in the original. Dr. David Dobson has made some modifications as well; for example, some men who were thought to have been Covenanters are now classed as rebels and English transportees have been omitted, while the references used have been enhanced to facilitate further research. In total, somewhere between 4,000 and 5,000 Scots were banished to the Americas during the Colonial period (whereas England transported around 50,000 and Ireland in excess of 10,000), all of whom contributed to the settlement and development of Colonial America.

Female Index to James Savage’s “Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England”
Because Savage’s “Dictionary” was originally published one volume at a time, in alphabetical order, the author never produced an index to the work as a whole. This limitation has always made it difficult to find female ancestors. Now, however, thanks to the heroic efforts of the late Patty Barthell Myers, the difficulty of finding females in Savage’s “Dictionary” is a thing of the past. In her book, Mrs. Myers identifies every woman/girl to be found in the “Dictionary.” Each female appears in the Myers INDEX under a maiden name and, separately, under the name of her husband.

State Census Records
It’s a fact that state governments have also carried out censuses randomly throughout their history to satisfy a variety of purposes, notwithstanding the decennial federal ones. These state censuses are invaluable to genealogists because they fill in gaps left by missing federal censuses. For example, 12 states conducted censuses between 1885 and 1895, any one of which can substitute for that state’s missing 1890 federal census. For all of these reasons, state censuses can give you a more complete picture of your ancestors and solve genealogical problems. To find out what state censuses exist, what kinds of information they contain, and where they can be found, read State Census Records, by Ann Lainhart, the definitive guide to this major, though vastly under-used, genealogical resource.

The Prominent Families of the U.S.A
When it came to books on American families–historically prominent families of British or European descent–they did no less in matters of style and content, and of the three great Burke’s volumes produced on American families, this present one is generally thought to be the most authoritative. Hundreds of pedigrees are included, each beginning with the living subject and showing his descent from the earliest known forebear. Click the link below to see if your family is covered here.
