West  Virginia Genealogy, Sources and Resources
Carol McGinnis
Volume totaling  135
pages. Book is in new condition.  Per The publisher;
This detailed guide to genealogical sources and resources in  West Virginia covers what records to look for, what is available, and where it  can be found. From the large to the small, it identifies records on the state  and regional level and then county level (county by county), providing details  of vital records, Bible records, church records, cemetery records, newspapers,  naturalizations, military records, county and regional records, census records  (including special schedules, indexes, and census substitutes), land records,  maps, and city directories. Also included is a detailed bibliography of West  Virginia genealogical sources--again statewide, regional, and countywide. Also  there are appendicxs with: (1) a complete inventory of the Historical Records  Survey Archives on microfilm, and (2) a list of West Virginians who filed Civil  War damage claims, 1871-1880.
The main focus of the book, however, is on the holdings of the  various institutions whose resources support the genealogist's special needs.  County by county, it lists the names, addresses, and business hours of  libraries, archives, societies, courthouses, and other record repositories;  describes their manuscript and record collections; highlights their special  holdings; and provides details regarding queries, searches, and restrictions on  the use of their records.

The Provincial Councillors of Pennsylvania
belongs in every American genealogical library because it covers many of the  leading families of the mid-Atlantic region and includes the entire progeny of  the councillors--including daughters of daughters of daughters, sons of sons of  sons, cadet branches who moved west, and English, French, German and other  foreign descendants. Treated especially well are the full progenies then known  of several royally descended founders of the Province--the Welsh Deputy Governor  Thomas and Mary (Jones) Lloyd, plus John Cadwalader, and the Scottish James  Logan (plus the mostly Pennsylvania progeny of James Tilghman, son of the  immigrant Richard of Maryland). Also covered are all descendants of Edward  Shippen (mostly Winthrop descendants via Grosses of Boston), who include the  family of traitor Benedict Arnold and the also royally descended Burds of  Philadelphia, plus Willings, Binghams, Clymers, Francises, Bayards of Delaware,  and Byrds of Virginia. Lloyd descendants include many of the leading Quaker and  Episcopal families of Philadelphia--Moores, Whartons, Pembertons, Morrises, plus  (under son-in-law Samuel Preston) Carpenters, Ellets, and Wistars. Logan  descendants include Fishers, Wisters, Drinkers, and Biddles.
