Genealogical Publishing Company

This is a complete overhaul of the 1990 classic, featuring updated coverage of 3,125 county jurisdictions and 1,577 New England towns and independent Virginia cities, details of the 18 Vermont probate districts, 9 Massachusetts districts, and 12 Connecticut judicial districts, plus informative state profiles and cross-references to name changes and extinct towns and counties. Based on her written survey of county courthouses and other jurisdictions, Mrs. Bentley here presents the names, addresses, phone numbers, and dates of organization of all county courthouses, and for those that responded (65 percent), a concise summary of record holdings, personnel, and services. Besides its obvious genealogical uses, the County Courthouse Book can also be used for land title searches, legal investigations, questions of property rights and inheritance, and indeed for personal searches and investigations of all kinds. But it is the genealogist who stands to benefit most from the book because it offers a concise guide to the county courthouses and courthouse records which are the main focus of his research. Just the book he's always needed!

There are many uses for a directory of family associations but undoubtedly the best use for it is for genealogical research--for making contact with family members, sharing information about family history, developing common ground between people of the same surname, arranging reunions, discovering who's out there and where you connect on the family tree, and finding out where you can go with your own research. Based largely on data received in response to questionnaires sent to family associations, reunion committees, and one-name societies, the Directory of Family Associations puts you in touch with all these possibilities, offering access to approximately 6,500 family associations across the United States. And since by their very nature some of these organizations exist for only a brief period of time or lack the staff to answer queries, Mrs. Bentley has supplemented the available information with details gleaned from notices in the standard family history journals and newsletters. The third edition (1996) features thousands of new or amended lists, ancestral names (where applicable), and a three-column format allowing for more data on each page. The result is an immensely useful A-Z directory of family associations giving addresses, phone numbers, contact persons, and publications (if any).

Directory of Family Associations (3rd ed)

Lists addresses for national and state agencies, regional archives, vital records offices, libraries, ethnic and religious organizations, computer databases, surname and adoption registries, immigration research centers, newspaper offices, and lineage societies
