REVIEWS Ordering information for publishers follows the reviews. Genealogical Writing in the 21st Century: A Guide to Register Style and More. Edited by Henry B. Hoff. New England Historic Genealogical Society, Boston, 2002. xiv plus 55 pages, appendix, bibliography, index, paper. $17.95. To help its potential authors, the New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS) has published a guide defining what it expects in publication style in its the venerable scholarly journal, The New England Historical and Genealogical Register; its popular magazine, New England Ancestors; its Web site, <NewEnglandAncestors.org>; and its books program, Newbury Street Press. The first half of this title may be misleading; in essence, the Guide focuses mainly on expectations for the Society’s own publications. The authors are, in general, modest about the depth of what they have to say and refer readers to other books with greater depth on some aspects of content and publication style. Reviewed by Edward J. Huth The Complete Beginner’s Guide to Genealogy, the Internet, and Your Genealogy Computer Program. By Karen Clifford. Genealogical Publishing Company, Baltimore, 2001. 350 pages, including the index (paginated by chapters), illustrations, maps, two appendices, index, paper. $24.95. The title is accurate; this is a book for beginners. It assumes you are itching to get into genealogical research on your ancestors and relatives and do not know how to get underway. First it defines the kind of information you need to begin and how to think about what you are going to do with it, and then it shows how to organize your data with a computer program as you collect it. Clifford properly emphasizes the importance of having clear, well-defined goals and of documenting what you find. Definitions in page margins of terms important in genealogy are a feature especially useful for beginners. Several chapters offer quite detailed summaries of the kinds of sources you can draw on: repositories for vital records, wills, and other potentially valuable documents; courthouses; libraries and archives with census records. Two chapters on the FamilySearch™ databases of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints go into substantial detail on what resources they offer and how to use them. The resources of the National 86 Final copy 31 January, 2010 Pennsylvania Genealogical Magazine Vol. 43 (2003) 2003 Reviews 87 Archives regional centers are described. One chapter covers the Federal census records from 1850 to 1920. The appendix on Internet resources is skimpy, but the second appendix offers many examples of forms for recording genealogical data. Each chapter closes with “homework” exercises devised to test how well you have digested the chapter’s guidance and advice, which may be a valuable feature for some that others will prefer to skip. Clifford’s Guide is for true beginners in genealogy–those who have the itch to get into picturing the family tree but do not know how to start. Reviewed by Edward J. Huth ABSTRACTS* Index to Associators and Militia of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania: An Index to Pennsylvania Archives, Fifth Series, Volume VI. By Jane Dickens. Family Line Publications, Westminster, Maryland, 1998. iv plus 118 pages, arranged alphabetically, paper. $11.00. To assist the researcher in quickly identifying Cumberland County ancestors who may have served in the American Revolution, this small book provides an every-name index to Volume VI of the Pennsylvania Archives, Fifth Series, which contains transcriptions of Cumberland County militia records, 1775—82, published in 1906. The Fifth Series was an improvement over the earlier Second and Third Series because it included primitive references to the sources, both primary and secondary, of the data appearing therein. An every-name index to the entire Fifth Series was published as Volume 15, Parts 1 and 2, of the Pennsylvania Archives, Sixth Series, in 1907, making this new index of greatest value to those genealogists who wish to focus only on Cumberland County. Arranged alphabetically, the Index lists the surname, given name, rank if evident from the transcription, and page number for each name that appears in Volume VI. Given names abbreviated in the Pennsylvania Archives are spelled out in the index, and occasionally it indicates the number of times a particular name appears on the same page. The publisher’s introduction is brief and inadequate, failing to include a cautionary note about the transcription problems associated with the published Archives or to explain the source notations. Several statements of error or misinterpretation appear in the introduction. For instance, the Fifth Series does not “[collect] all available muster and militia rolls for the * Note: Abstracts of original records can be very helpful in searching for an ancestor’s records. The reader is cautioned, however, that the possibility of errors or omissions exists whenever abstracted and/or transcribed records are used. If at all possible, the original or microfilm of the original should be examined. Many records have been microfilmed and are available through the Family History Library system. Final copy 31 January, 2010 88 Pennsylvania Genealogical Magazine Vol. 43 earlier periods of the French and Indian Wars and the Revolution.” Other unpublished militia records are held by the Pennsylvania State Archives in Harrisburg. Contrary to the publisher’s statement that “class number has no value to the typical researcher,” the class assignment of a particular militiaman determined the order in which he would be called for active duty. To avoid duty, some men appealed to be placed in higher classes for a later militia call. Generally, the introduction to this book should be disregarded. Reviewed by Jonathan R. Stayer Upshur County, West Virginia, Births, 1853—1897. By Billie Faye Drost and Karon Janel King. Heritage Books, Inc., Bowie, Maryland, 1993. 216 pages, every-name index, paper. $33.00. West Virginia began vital registration earlier than most other states. This volume abstracts the records from Upshur County Birth Book 1 (1853—90) and Birth Book 2 (1887—97). It also includes entries from Birth Book 3 and the Delayed Birth Book from the time period 1853—97. Index to District of Columbia Wills, 1801—1920. By Dorothy S. Provine. Genealogical Publishing Company, Baltimore, 1992. 218 pages, paper. $15.00. More than 22,700 wills were filed in the Orphans’ Court of the District of Columbia between 1801 and 1920. In a single alphabetical sequence for the entire period, Provine lists for each testator the year of filing and the number of the archives box that contains the will, presently held by the District of Columbia Archives. Index to the Encyclopedia of Pennsylvania Biography, Volumes I—XXXII, two volumes in one. Compiled by Frederic A. Godcharles and Walter D. Stock. Clearfield Company, Baltimore, 1996. 189+277 pages, paper. $37.50. The Encyclopedia of Pennsylvania Biography was published irregularly from 1914 through 1967; sketches were both historical and contemporaneous. This book includes a both reprint of the index to volumes 1—20 compiled by Frederic A. Godcharles and published in 1932 and the index to volumes 21—32 compiled in 1994 at the Free Library of Philadelphia under Walter D. Stock. The New Loyalist Index 3, Including Cape Cod & Islands, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey and New York Loyalists. By Paul J. Bunnel. Heritage Books, Inc., Bowie, Maryland, 1998. 177 pages, paper. $21.00. This volume is a single alphabetical listing of Loyalists who settled in Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and elsewhere. Each entry gives name, regiment, rank, residence, and any vital information, with a Final copy 31 January, 2010 2003 Reviews 89 code indicating in which of over 30 sources the information was found. Sources include both published works and unpublished research. Index of Death Notices and Marriage Notices Appearing in the Cincinnati Daily Gazette, 1827—1881. By Jeffrey G. Herbert. Hamilton County Chapter, Ohio Genealogical Society, Cincinnati; printed by Heritage Books, Inc., Bowie, Maryland, 1993. 849 pages, 2 volumes, paper. $88.50. Death notices and marriage notices are each arranged in a separate alphabetical series, with separate entries being given to both the bride and groom. A substantial amount of other Cincinnati material is given in the introduction, including death statistics for the time period, an 1850 listing of Cincinnati cemeteries, a separate list of Revolutionary War soldiers who were identified as such in the obituaries, members of the Pioneer Association of Cincinnati in 1858, and marriage licenses from a brief period in 1795—96. FAMILY HISTORIES Hendrik Gerrit Kiel–Dutch Immigrant to Pennsylvania; A Genealogy; Collateral Lines of Stratford, Wilson, and Briggs. By Frank Wilson Kiel. Skyline Ranch Press, 133 Skyline Drive, Comfort, Texas 78013, 2000. 346 pages, appendix, illustrations, maps, surname index, nongenealogical persons and events index, cloth. $25.00 plus $5.00 shipping. This well-written family history of four related families in America offers, as the author points out in the preface, “information about the family in America, with a few glimpses into its European past.” Hendrik Kiel sailed from Holland to Baltimore in the early 1800s and settled in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. Thomas Stratford was born in Chipping Norton in England; his son William Stratford was born in 1815 in Cheltenham, England, and died in Lewistown, Pennsylvania, in 1837. The earliest Wilson family member known in America was John Wilson, who was born about 1797 in Pennsylvania and died in Orbisonia, Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. The Briggs family supposedly settled in the 1700s in Huntingdon County, but the first in this book is William Briggs, who was born in 1818 and died in 1901 in Shirley Township, Huntingdon County. Other associated families include Wilson, Huldebrand, Gilliland, and Cluggage. Kiel spent some fifty-seven years studying these ancestral families. As he indicates, there is much more that could be added, and some included information has questionable sources. Frequent author’s notes attempt to identify these weak areas. Most of the information was obtained through family letters, which are included in the text. Some of his research was done in Holland and in Cheltenham and Chipping Norton in the Cotswolds. Final copy 31 January, 2010 90 Pennsylvania Genealogical Magazine Vol. 43 The appendix includes significant cemeteries, military service, physical characteristics, medical history, and an extensive bibliography. Many photographs are included, as well as several maps. For family historians interested in these families, this is an excellent book. Reviewed by Jane Adams Clarke A Rhoads Family History: The Family and Ancestry of Jay Roscoe Rhoads, with a Genealogy by Patricia Law Hatcher. Edited by D. Brenton Simons. Newbury Street Press, Boston, 2001. xii+ 375 pages, illustrations, maps, four appendices, index to names and places, cloth. $75.00. Some cynics may regard publishing family histories and genealogies as a species of “vanity press,” but to the families who compile them and arrange for publication, they can have great value, a gift for later generations. But what about value for others? This family history is a good example of value to others. Its scope is far wider than its title implies; genealogical coverage is not limited to the Rhoads surname in the title (which was early “Rodt” or “Roth,” and later Rhoad and Rhodes), but extends in detail to other ancestral Berks County families: Boyer (Beier, Beyer, Boyer, Byer), Gelbach, Herbein (Herbine, Herpin), Hoffman (Hofman), Kerst (Kersten, Kirsten), Knabb, Knauss (Knaus), Lorah (Loara, Lohra, Lora), Ludwig (Lodowick, Ludowick, Ludwick), and Ritter. Another value comes from the indexing of all personal names mentioned in the volume. Thus, useful clues may be found on other Berks County residents, such as collateral relatives and buyers and sellers of real estate. A third value is Hatcher’s thorough discussion of difficulties she met in pursuing these genealogies and the solutions she worked out. Her Appendix IV, “Finding George Lorah,” which has been published in PGM 41:217—57, is an example of such aid to genealogists in working through their own problems. Finally, the wealth of detail on the contents of wills, land transactions, and other details of personal and social life of these families indirectly makes this also a striking account of the history and culture of the Oley Valley, a large part of eastern Berks County. Reviewed by Edward J. Huth Thomas Barnes of Hartford, Connecticut, + 1,766 Descendants, 1615— 1994. By Frederick Wayne Barnes and Edna Cleo (Bauer) Barnes. Gateway Press, Baltimore, 1994; order from the authors, 794 Chestnut Drive, Fairfield, CA 94533-1465. 320 pages, photographs, index, cloth. $35.00 plus tax (California residents). The authors have compiled, primarily from two other compiled sources, a Barnes lineage for Frederick Wayne Barnes, a tenth-generation descendant of Thomas Barnes of Hartford. Recent generations are supplemented by photos, newspaper articles, and personal biographies. Final copy 31 January, 2010 2003 Reviews 91 The full-name index includes years of birth and/or death, which is helpful for separating Barnes individuals of the same given name. Blairlin II with Blairtrees: A Computerized Compilation of 8,453 Blair Lineages and Connecting Family Trees. By Preston E. Groome, compiler. 8 Nichols Road, Convent Station, NJ, 07960-4609, 1993. 392 pages, charts, paper.

An alphabetized listing of all persons provides access. Additionally there are lists of society members, of Blair excerpts from Filby and Meyers’ Passenger and Immigration Lists Index, and extended family trees created by cross-matching submitted lineages. The Burr-Mauleverer-Maulevrier Connection. By Dorothea Ridgeway Haydock Lewis, 1994. 65 pages, photographs, charts, large fold-out chart, errata, paper. This booklet is a supplement to The Kennedy Family, written in the 1960s by Letitia Kennedy Haydock, the author’s mother. Half of the book records the author’s trips to potential ancestral sites in England and France, with many photographs; the remainder presents numerous charts on the families, especially indicating family connections to noble families. Carrier-Carryer and Allied Lines. By Georgie Carrier Early Armentrout. Gateway Press, Inc., Baltimore, 1985. Order from the author, 564 East Wolfe St., Harrisonburg, VA 22801. 442 pages, photographs, index, cloth. W. John Carrier is believed to have immigrated directly to the current Shenandoah County, Virginia, by 1759. He married, possibly second, Jemima Nicholas and died by 1773. The allied lines include Lincoln, Harrison, Rhodes, Holsinger, Thomas, Bowman, Early, Summers, O’Roark, Phillips, and others, primarily of Virginia. The annoying Henry numbering system is used. Some documentation is given, particularly for historical generations. Echoes from Andrew and Anna: “The Gentle Cook Embrace.” By Frederick Douglas Hamilton Cook. Andrew Cook Genealogical Society Inc., 46 King St., Tillsonburg, Ontario, Canada N4G3E7, 1994. 2 volumes, 1,492 pages, charts, tables, index, cloth. $185.00 (Canadian). The Andrew Cook of the title is said to be the son of another Andrew Cook, both born in England, residents of Cumberland, Huntington, and York counties in Pennsylvania. The younger Andrew married Anna Christina Palmer/Balmer of Lancaster County, and they moved to Lloydtown, Ontario, after 1800, where both are buried. The book is from Final copy 31 January, 2010 92 Pennsylvania Genealogical Magazine Vol. 43 a computer database (RN numbers are displayed for all individuals), including extensive charts, but contains narrative for recent generations. Now in Our Fourth Century: Some American Families. By Paul Drake, J.D. Heritage Books, Bowie, Md., 1994. 586 pages, photographs, appendices, index, errata, paper. $61.50. The extensive narrative and illustrations make this a book to be read, rather than referenced, although documentation is provided. Illustrations are varied and include maps, documents, engravings, tombstones, and artifacts, in addition to the expected portraits. Earliest families include Benn, Drake, Griffith, Hunt, Meachum, Raymond, Rugg, Sherwood, Smith, Southwick, and Trask. Royal Families, Americans of Royal and Noble Ancestry, Volume One, Governor Thomas Dudley and Descendants through Five Generations. By Marston Watson. Genealogical Publishing Company, Baltimore, 2002. 328 pages, index, cloth. $35.00. Almost 3,000 descendants of Thomas Dudley and his wives Dorothy Yorke and Katherine Deighton are given in modified Register format. The work is documented, relying on vital records and published compilations (mainly of good quality), but there is no new research nor investigation into other types of records such as land or probate, hence the danger of perpetuated errors exists. Essig/Bosler Family History, 1991 Revised Edition. By June Anne Essig Overdorf. Order from the author, 2106 Main Street, Elwood, IN 460362102. Unpaginated, photographs, maps, index, paper. $23.50. The progenitors of the Essig family were Andreas Essig of Schaffhausen, Switzerland, who married Margaret Kieser of Dort, Germany. Later generations were in Vaihingen, Württemberg. The immigrant John Henry Essig came to Allentown, Montgomery County, about 1829, married Caroline Josephine Bosler in 1837 in Bucks County, and produced fifteen children. The sectionalized numbering system makes the families somewhat difficult to follow. Ancestors and Descendants of Lewis Ross Freeman with Related Families, Based Partially on the Work of Freeman Worth Gardner and Willis Freeman. By Patty Barthell Myers. Penobscot Press, 1995. Order from the author, 15 Campden Circle, San Antonio, TX 78218. 946 pages, photographs, index.

Descendants in the United States of Richard Hammond & Margaret Allen, Married 2 January 1675 at Ticehurst, Sussex, England. By Dorothy Fauquier Whitaker, 1993. 130 pages, charts, paper. The family of Edward Thomas Hammond immigrated in 1874, settling in New Jersey. There is no index to this book, but the bulk of the book is comprised of a descendancy chart, pedigree charts, and family group sheets, all computer generated, so members of this Hammond family should be able to locate the needed information. The Harris, Pritchard, Knippenberg, and Allied Families. By Edith Whitcraft Eberhart. Gateway Press, Inc., Baltimore, 1992. Order from the author, 10906 Fleetwood Drive, Beltsville, MD 20705. 412 pages, photographs, index, cloth. The Harris family emigrated from Cornwall about 1860 and lived in Kentucky, West Virginia, Kansas, and New Mexico. The Pritchards, from Wales, were coal miners, who came to work in the Allegany County, Maryland, mines a few years earlier. The immigrant Frederick Knippenberg emigrated at about the same time from Württemberg, settling briefly in Pennsylvania before moving to Maryland. A Story in Its Making: The Herrin Family History. By Lula Mae Herrin McCarn, as told to Joe Formichella. 1996. 186 pages, appendices, paper. The author’s Howlan-Gorham-Williams-Herrin lineage is presented through a combination of narrative, family group sheets, and a few documents. Numerous photographs of persons, documents, and tombstones are included. Unfortunately, the choppy narrative and lack of organization make what seems to be an interesting lineage difficult to follow or to evaluate. Our Kentucky Pioneer Ancestry: A History of the Kinkead and McDowell Families of Kentucky and Those Families Associated by Marriage. By June Lee Mefford Kinkead. Gateway Press, Inc., Baltimore, 1992. Order from the author, 2085 Lakeside Drive, Lexington, KY 40502. $50.00, plus $3.00 postage and handling. 456 pages, photographs, charts, index, cloth. The Kinkead and McDowell families were prominent in Virginia and Kentucky, including a governor and a judge. They intermarried with Gay, Blackburn, Pryor, Berry, Shelby, Hart, Bullock, Fontaine, Warfield, Carneal, McClung, Lyle, Chrisman, Simpson, Allin, Groff, and Farra. The author has supplemented genealogical information taken largely from compiled sources with extracts of histories and documents providing a social history of the frontier upper class. Final copy 31 January, 2010 94 Pennsylvania Genealogical Magazine Vol. 43 The Hyders and Maneys (of Western North Carolina) Right Good Folks! Compiled and edited by Ann Hyder Zink, 2001. Order from the author, 701 Duque Road, Lutz, FL 33549. 147 pages, photographs and illustrations, index. $25.00 plus $3.00 postage. Hans Michael Heider may have been the immigrant to Philadelphia in 1729, who had three children baptized at Goshenhoppen Reformed, and may have been naturalized in 1744, but if so, moved immediately into present-day Hardy County, West Virginia. In addition to families of the main title, this work includes the Barnard, Hampton, Carson, Heslep, Carter, Jay, Dillingham, Littlejohn, Fisher, and Wallen families. The illustrations include an interesting reproduction of a plat of the two pieces of property entered by Benjamin Hyder in Rutherford County in 1767 and 1782. Six Columbiana County, Ohio, Pioneer Families: Family 5. William Leech (1776—1865) and Jane Garretson: Ancestors and Descendants. By William Brooke Fetters, 1998. Order from the author, 12814 Brunswick Lane, Bowie, MD 20715-2403. 778 pages, charts, maps, index, cloth. The couple of the title arrived in Middleton Township, Columbiana County, in 1805 from York County, Pennsylvania. The author has researched their ancestry extensively (as attested to by the number of pages for the ancestry of a nineteenth-century couple), much of which is Quaker, although the immigrant Jan Gerritsen is suspected to be a Dutchman who ran aground on Long Island in 1657 and settled in New Castle County, Delaware. Other families covered include Boyd, Bell, Penrose, Lightfoot, Wiley, Carson, Atkinson, Smith, Croasdale, Naylor, and Roberts. REPRINTS AND NEW EDITIONS Digges’ Choice, 1724—1800: A History of Land Transactions within a Portion of York and Adams Counties, Pennsylvania. By Jan A. Bankert. Reprint of 1996 edition by Picton Press, Camden, Maine, 1999. xvi plus 140 pages, illustrations, appendices, index, paper. $19.50. Digges’ Choice was surveyed on a 1727 warrant issued by Charles Calvert, fourth Lord Baltimore of Maryland, to John Digges. It stretched westward from present-day Heidelberg Township, York County, to Germany Township, Adams County. Digges first obtained his warrant from Maryland, which illustrates the confusion over the location of Pennsylvania’s southern boundary line until the Mason-Dixon survey in the 1760s. Digges and his heirs sold tracts within this survey, while other settlers encroached on the basis of Pennsylvania warrants. Bankert provides data about the history of each tract within Digges’ Choice, from the deed from Digges to the first subsequent owner, or from Final copy 31 January, 2010 2003 Reviews 95 the date of the Pennsylvania warrant, until 1800. Keyed by number to a map in the back of the book, each entry includes a drawing of the boundaries of the original tract, the names of owners in the chain of title, dates of transfer, and source citations. Sources consulted include Maryland surveys and patents; Pennsylvania warrants, surveys and patents; York County will, deed, and Orphans’ Court books; and collections in the historical societies of York and Adams counties, Pennsylvania, and of Baltimore and Frederick counties, Maryland. Appendices contain abstracts of baptismal entries, 1735—42, from the journal of Lutheran pastor Johann Caspar Stover provided by Pastor Frederick S. Weiser; a Heidelberg Township, York County, tax list from January 1749/50, copied from the Pennsylvania Archives, First Series, 2:91; and a list of names associated with Digges’ Choice, with page numbers where they are found in Volumes 1 and 2 of Pennsylvania Archives, First Series. The publisher provided an every-name index, which makes this book a handy resource for locating information about some of the earliest settlers in the region near Hanover. Reviewed by Jonathan R.
