The
County Courthouse Book
is a concise guide to county courthouses and courthouse records. It is an important book because the genealogical researcher needs a reliable guide to American county courthouses, the main repositories of county records. To proceed in his investigations, the researcher needs current addresses and phone numbers, information about the coverage and availability of key courthouse records such as probate, land, naturalization, and vital records, and timely advice on the whole range of services available at the courthouse. Where available he will also need listings of current websites and e-mail addresses.
He will also need to know whether search services are provided, the fees involved, and whether there are alternative locations for the records. And if he's a diligent researcher, he'll need to know something about the origins of the county itself--names of parent counties, dates of formation, former names, etc.
Such is the kind of guidebook required, and such is Elizabeth P. Bentley's
County Courthouse Book
, now in its third edition, the first edition to provide websites and e-mail addresses. 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 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.
This new 3rd edition of the
County Courthouse Book
is a complete overhaul of the 2nd edition of 1995, and it is up-to-date and more useful than ever.

Genealogical & Local History Books in Print: U.S. Sources & Resources Volume. Alabama-New York
Fifth Edition
Marian Hoffman, ed.
Softbound volume totaling
573
pages. Book is in new condition. Just what you need for genealogy research. Per the publisher;
Devoted specifically to U.S. sources and resources--books that contain reference literature and source material of a localized nature--this is the first of two volumes listing genealogical books in print that deal with U.S. regions, states, counties, towns, and smaller municipalities. Consistent with the format of the other volumes in the opus, this work starts with coverage of the five major regions of the U.S.--New England, Mid-Atlantic, the South, the Mid-West, and the West--and proceeds alphabetically through the States of Alabama through New York; therein books are arranged under a statewide and regional heading or by county, in alphabetical order. Besides the standard listings, many entries contain brief descriptions of the books; and in a number of cases, where books have been produced or reprinted by two or more vendors, the reader has a choice of formats and prices to choose from.
Genealogical & Local History Books in Print: U.S. Sources & Resources Volume. North Carolina-Wyoming
Fifth Edition
Marian Hoffman
Softbound volume totaling
525
pages. Book is in new condition. Just what you need for genealogy research. Per the publisher;
The concluding volume of the two-part
U.S. Sources and Resources
component of
G&LHBIP
, this one picks up with the genealogical and local history sources and resources for the State of North Carolina and continues alphabetically through Wyoming.
This book also represents the fourth and final volume of the entire opus, which, in the aggregate, may be said to provide the researcher with an unparalleled buying guide--a giant catalogue of commercially, corporately, and privately published books on genealogy and local history that are presently in print. It would be virtually impossible for anyone to put all this information together by him or herself, and there is no institution in the world that can furnish comparable data. If your research calls for tracking down and purchasing books on genealogy and local history, this work is absolutely indispensable.
