He was sure that many existed, but he could find very little information about them. While in Europe, he… Leer más

This is the first comprehensive guide to substitutes for the lost 1890 U.S. Federal Census ever compiled. Written by researcher and author, William Dollarhide, this volume pulls together a listing of mostly online and quickly accessible sources to overcome the hurdle of the "gap" between the 1880 and 1900 U.S. Federal Censuses.
All 1,203 database source titles listed in this book were extracted from the series of state books, Censuses & Substitute Name Lists (52 books-AL to WY, plus DC & US Territories, publ. Family Roots Publishing Co., Orting, WA, 2017-2018). The name lists identified are in the form of databases mostly found on the Internet.

Any substitute name lists not digitized yet… Leer más

Simple Citations for Genealogical Sources; by Jeffry P. La Marca, Ph.D.; 2024; 161 pp. – 72 in color!
Researching your family history is a fascinating hobby. It often connects you to numerous previously unknown family members and brings history to life! While it is now easier than ever to construct a genealogy, there is one obstacle that can render your research meaningless – the lack of veriable documentation to support your family tree. Thoroughly documenting your research by always citing your sources is essential and is the gold standard by which your work will be viewed. The intent of Simple Citations is to make that process easy.
Simple Citations:
Makes citing sources painless,
Requires minimal time and eort,
Standardizes the citation on process,
Eliminates decision-making associated with documentation practices &
Allows family historians to devote more time to research!

Dwight Radford has lived in Salt Lake City, working as a professional genealogist for over 30 years.He has conducted extensive research at archives throughout the U.S., Ireland, and Northern Ireland. During his decades of employment experience on others' genealogies, he has been able to explore techniques that do and do not result in breakthroughs in tracing lineages. In the pages of this book, he shares exactly how he, as a professional, would analyze and evaluate sources to develop plans to track ancestors from ethnic and cultural populations who had few early or complete records.
The Scots-Irish present the ultimate challenge in implementing unconventional… Leer más

German Residential Records For Genealogists: Tracing Your Ancestor From Place to Place in Germany; Roger P. Minert, Ph.D., A.G.; 2018; Soft Cover; 193 pp; 8.5x11; ISBN: 978-1-62859-214-6; Item #: FR0652.
Sometime before the completion of Dr. Roger Minert's 2016 book, German Census Records, 1816-1916, he found himself studying one of the best examples of residential registration he had found in four decades of Germanic family history research. The page established for Theresia Baumgärtner, who arrived in Würzburg from München in 1889, is replete with details about her partner and their illegitimate children. Roger began to research the origins of the practice of documenting strangers and foreigners in Germany - finding that the practice was used all over Germany - and goes back for centuries in some areas. Thus this book, German Residential Records For Genealogists: Tracing Your Ancestor From Place to Place in Germany, was conceived.

Compendium of 4,000 German Middle-Class Citizens: 1250-1850 - Volume One; by Frederick Siler; 2022; 259 pp; 8.5x11; Paperback; Perfect bound; ISBN: 978-1-62859-331-0; Item # FR0705
This book is the first in a series of volumes exploring the linage and heraldry of 16,000 common middle-class German citizens who have been identified from records dating from approximately 1250 to 1850. Access to documents about the commoner social strata of the 13th to 15th centuries is nearly non-existent for English-speaking family historians who wish to extend their family tree back in time before Guttenberg's invention of the printing press and prior to the first migration of our German ancestors to American in the 17th and 18th centuries.
This volume includes the following highlights:FRONT MATTER

Census Substitutes & State Census Records, Third Edition, Volume 2 - Southeastern States: by William Dollarhide; 2020 (updated 2021); 303 pages; Softbound, 8-1/2 x 11; ISBN 978-1-62859-286-3; FR0482.
Why Census Substitutes & State Census Records? There are some huge genealogy look-up sites on the Internet. The main sites all provide the means of searching for a name or a place, starting with a global search screen. They are a good way to find someone when little is known about a person at the onset. But this Shotgun Approach can produce more names/results than you ever thought possible. A better method might be the Sniper Approach: To be more precise, start looking beyond the global search box to find specific types of records available for a certain time period, i.e., look for specific Census Substitute databases. These include name lists of births, marriages, deaths & burials; lists of military units, and lists of veterans, and immigrants, and naturalization records, tax records, land records,… Leer más

Map Guide to German Parish Registers - Hessen, by Kevan Hansen, 192 ppGerman Map Guide Volume 1 – Soft Cover (Item # FR0001):ISBN-13: 978-0-9753543-0-8Library of Congress Control Number: 2004103837
Published by Family Roots Publishing Company, Volume 1 of the German Map Guide series was published in 2004 and has been acclaimed by genealogists everywhere. Written in English by Kevan Hansen, the volume was principally written to help family historians figure our where their family may have gone to church – and left vital records behind that may be seen today. This is the first of an in-process series covering all of Germany. Even the smallest places are listed in this series – some with as little population as one person! These places are as of about 1870. If the place existed prior to that date, it will most likely be listed. If the place was named after that date, the chances drop. The volume covers 1,582 places (usually towns).
Each volume of the series does the following:
