North Carolina Headrights A List of Names 1663-1744 Whitley Genealogy Books 2008

Description

North Carolina Headrights A List of Names, 1663-1744 Compiled by Caroline B. Whitley Second printing 2008
From the back of the book "In North Carolina's proprietary period (1663-1729), the primary means of acquiring land was by a headright.  A free person was allowed to claim a specified amount of land for each person, including himself/herself, that he/she transported into the colony for the purpose of settlement..." The headright gives a great deal of useful information: name of person claiming headright, names of individuals being transported into colony for settlement, and in some cases - the relationship between the grantee and the individuals is given, etc. This book is a wonderful resource for anyone doing genealogical research in early North Carolina.  Soft cover, 312 pages including index.

German  Immigrants: Lists of Passengers Bound from Bremen to New York, 1847-1854
With Places of Origin
Gary J. Zimmerman and Marion Wolfert
Hardbound volume totaling
175
pages. Book is in excellent condition.  Just what you need  for genealogy research. Per the publisher;
The original lists of emigrants leaving Bremen were  destroyed during World War II. This was a serious loss since Bremen was the most  active of the German seaports and handled three times as many emigrants as  Hamburg. The destruction of the Bremen records has been viewed as a genealogical  disaster because most such records were thought to be irreplaceable. Information  on hundreds of thousands of emigrants went up in smoke, and it was feared that  much of this data was lost forever.
With this volume (the first in a series), however, a good  many of the Bremen passenger records are effectively restored, for this is a  partial reconstruction of the Bremen records, based on American, rather than  German, sources--specifically, on passenger lists of vessels arriving at New  York that are now in the custody of the National Archives. Not all Bremen  passengers of the 1847-1854 period are included--only those for whom a specific  place of origin is given, about 35,000 immigrants.
For convenience the immigrants' names are arranged in  alphabetical order, and family members are grouped together, usually under the  head of household. Details concerning age, date of arrival, and the name of the  ship are provided, as are specific citations to the original source material.
