According to this volume, “Berks County has more Lutherans than the total membership in the United States of anyone of twenty-three of the fifty-two recognized denominations.” This volume preserves the history of the pastors and members who lived in Berks County, Pennsylvania, for over two hundred years and who worshiped in the one hundred Lutheran churches in the county. The pastors themselves contributed the congregational sketches and the book was compiled by a committee appointed by the Reading Conference. Although not a complete history of the time and place, this volume will provide valuable information for genealogists and historians alike. Illustrations of both people and places fill the pages throughout the book. A chronological list of pastors (1701–1923) and an index to places and subjects add to the value of this work.

Lincoln County, located along the Mississippi River was created on December 14, 1810 out of lands from St. Charles County. As to the name of the county, there is a difference of opinions. The first story is told that the county was named by Major Christopher Clerk, the first permanent white settler. He addressed the Territorial Legislature saying, “I was born, sir in Link-Horn County, North Carolina and I lived for many years in Link-Horn County in old Kain-Tuck. I wish to die in Link-Horn County, in Missouri.” The Territorial Legislature voted to name the county Link-Horn but the clerk wrote “Lincoln” in the blank space for the name. The other group say the county was named for Major General Benjamin Lincoln of the American Revolutionary War fame. Either way, it is now Lincoln County. In this volume of records you will find a brief history of the county, scraps of early history, assessment list of 1821, Will Book A & B 1825-1855, Marriage Book B 1842-1859, and the Patrons of the Atlas of 1878.

"Trigg County...bears no mean part in the history or the importance of the State, as she bears no inconsiderable part in the history of our common country." Thus begins this thorough account of Trigg County, Kentucky, which covers everything from its topography and geology to its settlement, pioneers, industry, government, crops, growth, development, and of course its people. Lawyer W. H. Perrin has put together a very readable text and has colorfully recorded the history of Trigg County, which he has gleaned from public records, personal documents, and individual interviews. The book's first five chapters focus on the county as a whole, and subsequent chapters are devoted to its individual precincts: Cadiz, Canton, Linton, Cerulean Springs, Wallonia, Caledonia, Montgomery, Roaring Springs, Rock Castle, Bethesda, Laura Furnace, Golden Pond, and Ferguson Springs Precincts. An extensive section at the book's end is a wonderfully detailed collection of biographical sketches of notable county residents and their accomplishments, arranged by precinct.

The Vestry Book of Petsworth Parish, Gloucester County, Virginia 1677-1793. Churchill Gibson Chamberlayne. Considering the fact that Gloucester County is a “BURNED” county prior to 1865, makes this book one of only a few sources of information about this county during this colonial period.  This BURNED county was formed from York  County in 1654 and is the parent county of: Hanover, King William, and King & Queen counties. When the parishes were formed by the General Assembly of Virginia, the Vestries were assigned some of the civil administrative functions and all such civil functions were official in nature and the records of actions taken were recorded in the vestry books.  Such records contained in the Vestry book contained among other things such things as: upkeep of bastard children; payment for the upkeep of the ferry; prosecution of fornicators; appointment of road work crews; apprentice young people to others in the parish for training in crafts or other livelihoods; providing clothing, food and shelter for the poor and elderly; burial of the dead and many, many other similar duties. 1933, (2019), paper, 446 pp. ISBN: 0893082449 117-VA187

Mecklenburg County was formed from Anson County, N.C. in 1762. It was a pathway of major migration from both Virginia, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey as the Scotch-Irish came to the area in huge numbers. Court minutes are considered some of the most important records on the county level. The reason researchers value court minutes so much is because they reflect many areas of activity in the county and the persons involved: estates being settled, persons assigned to jury duty or to work on the roads, lawsuits, wills, probated deeds recorded, apprentices indentured, orphans put under the care of the court, etc. Do not be surprised to find those surnames you have been searching for in other books on this county that you have had no luck with so far.

It is located in the Northeastern corner of the state bordering Virginia. It is surrounded by the counties of Camden, Chowan, Hertford, Pasquotank, Perquimans counties N.C. and by Nansemond County, VA. Many inhabitants of the "BURNED" counties of Hertford, N.C. and Nansemond, VA. which adjoin Gates county are mentioned in these early deeds.  Deeds are one of favorite research tools of the genealogists due to the wide variety of family connections found within them. Not only will the reader find the deed transaction itself, but often times such things as: marriages, relinquishments of dower, divisions of family farms among heirs, remarriages of widows are just a few of the matters you can anticipate finding within records of deeds.

Warren County, Mississippi, Probate Index - Mary Lois S. Ragland and Jane J. Williams. A tool no researcher with ancestors in Warren County, Mississippi, can do without: a cross-index to the probate records kept at Warren Chancery Court, which go back to the formation of the county in 1811. Mary Lois S. Ragland is already a well-known author of Heritage Books on Mississippi, namely Fisher Funeral Home Records, Vicksburg, Mississippi, 1854–1867 and Spreading the Word: Mississippi Newspaper Abstracts of Genealogical Interest, 1825–1935. In the latter, compiled for the Vicksburg Genealogical Society, Jane J. Williams was credited for her contributions. In this book, Williams and Ragland present the names of the complainants (the plaintiffs, decedents or minors) in alphabetical order, usually grouped on the surnames’ first two letters (i.e. Ab, Ac, Ad, Ai, and Al, All, etc.). The unique probate number (the book covers numbers 1 to 9999) assigned to each complainant by the court appears next to his or her name, enabling the researcher to request a copy of the right file directly from the Warren County Chancery Clerk, or to look it up on microfilm. As an extra service, the authors have prepared an every-name index to the names of the defendants, administrators, or guardians who appear in a column next to the complainants. This index in particular may allow the researcher to find an ancestor acting in a hitherto unsuspected role, as guardian to a minor for instance, towards someone whose unfamiliar surname might give a clue to a forgotten branch of the family.
