Volume IX, No. 2, December 1990

Pennsylvania ResearchMAGS members who were able to attend the

Fall Conference were treated to a wealth of

information on Pennsylvania research. While it isimpossible to treat the entire program in the spaceavailable, some of the major points made by thespeakers as well as a few other notes gleaned fromvarious sources will be provided. Dr. Smuckerprovided handout which included a list of archives,etc. in southeastern Pennsylvania where theresearcher might find information about religiousgroups. Readers will find this informationreprinted with Dr. Smucker's permission on page22.

Frances Waite, who spoke on using taxrecords, also provided an extensive bibliography.In addition to the tax records published in thePennsylvania Archives, Series 3, Volumes XI -XXII, she recommended Helen HutchisonWoodroofe's "A Genealogist's Guide toPennsylvania Records" published in ThePennsylvania Genealogical Magazine, VolumesXXXI - XXXV, for the counties of Berks, Bucks,

Chester, Cumberland, Lancaster, Montgomery,Northampton, Philadelphia and York. Thoseresearchers especially interested in Bucks Countymight wish to obtain Bucks County Tax Records1693 to 1778 (Doylestown, 1982) by Terry A.McNealfy and Frances W. Waite. ThePennsylvania State Archives at Harrisburg(currently closed for repairs), the GenealogicalSociety of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia and the

Family History Library all have microfilmed copiesof most southeastern Pennsylvania tax records.

Dr. Wokeck's talk on ship's passenger listsgraphically illustrated two points thatknowledgeable researchers make over and over.Points which cannot be over emphasized. It isnecessary to study the history of the time in orderto know what to look for and where to look. It is

often possible to pick up a lost trail by studyingthe background of other family members, friendsand neighbors. Most people do not emigrate inisolation. And, secondly, no matter how throughand knowledgeable the translator/editor of ahistorical document is, he cannot bring to the workthe specific knowledge of family that theindividual researcher has and can and does make

errors in translation/transcription: check theoriginal record.

A final note on Pennsylvania research and alead-in to our Spring Conference at Shepherdstownwhich will concentrate on western Pennsylvaniaand West Virginia research is a recent article inAntique Week ( September 3, 1990). It seems thatmuch of the material published in The HornPapers: Early Westward Movement on theMonongahela and Upper Ohio 1765-1795 by W.F.Horn (Scottsdale, Pa.: Harold Press, 1945) hasbeen examined and found to be forged. Anotherreminder that just because it's in print doesn'tmean its true.

Established in 1721 Spotsylvania reached itspresent size in 1734 when Orange County wascreated. During this thirteen year period prior tothe establishment of Orange County. SpotsylvaniaCounty encompassed the counties of Orange,Culpeper, Greene, Madison, Rappahannock andallof Virginia west of the Blue Ridge. Crozier'sabstracts of the county records include this periodand continue to 1800. His "transcriptions [are]from the original files at the county court house ofwills, deeds, administrators' and guardians' bonds,marriage licenses and lists of Revolutionarypensioners." These abstracts do not alwaysprovide all of the information to be found in agiven document. Forexample, onesuch abstracteddeed omits the names of the sons in a lease forlives.

Baxter, Angus. In Search of Your EuropeanRoots: A Complete Guide to Tracing YourAncestors in Every Country in Europe. Baltimore:Genealogical PubUshing Co., Inc., 1985 (1988).xix, 289 pp.; index; softcover.

This is not a book on European travel orhistory; it is primarily a list of the types of recordsproduced in a given country and the most likelyrepositories for these records. Short lessons inhistory are given when it is necessary tounderstand migration patterns, date changes, andpossible sources for specific records. One iswarned that German ancestry does not mean thatancestral records wiU necessarily be found inGermany. Many Germans settled in the Ukraine,Transylvania, Hungary, Jugoslavia, Czechoslovakiaand other areas of Europe.

At the end of the section on Germany theauthor recommends writing to the depository inanticipation of a visit. We would do well toremember this when traveling in the States as weU.Archives and Ubraries close temporarily andrecords move. Today in Europe these changesmay be more dramatic than usual. However, thevalue of this book remains.

In addition to information on archives, the

author has included lists of genealogicalassociations. It is obvious that a book of this sizecannot give aU the ins and outs of Europeanresearch, but it does provide a composite overviewof thirty European countries,(continued on page 32)

Bentley, Elizabeth Petty. County CourthouseBook. Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc.,1990. ix, 386 pp.; softcover.

Current addresses, phone numbers and copycharges are provided. The date of origin and theparent county, territory, etc. are given. The authorrelied on her questionnaires for specific holdingsand the information is assumed to be correct.Erroneous information creeps in when there is amisinterpretation. For example, Virginia has noseparate naturalization records and most countiessurveyed returned the answer, "no records."Augusta County which apparently returned anextensive explanation gave the correct answer:"mustbe searched for." OrangeCountyis listed ashaving none, although this reviewer personaUyabstracted the records for 1734-1782 and thesewere pubUshed in The Magazine of VirginiaGenealogical Society. Chesterfield Countyapparently returned no information and nothing islisted. Again this reviewer abstracted the recordsappearing in one order book and these werepublished in the Southside Virginian. There areother errors. Orange County marriages are listedas beginning in 1857, they actuaUy begin almostahundred years earlier although only a few remainprior to the Revolutionary War.

Errors aside, the value of this book lies in thecurrent addresses and the information it doesprovide. We are often reminded when consultingabstracts to check the original; here, too, we needto remember this admonition. We need to use thisbook as a guide and not the "last word." If you

While theonehundred plusfamily sketches aretypical of the period when the book was written inthat they give no documentation, they do providea place to begin. Many give the origin of thefamilies.

Jones, Henry Z. Jones, Jr. The PalatineFamilies of Ireland, Second Edition. Camden,Maine: Picton Press, 1990. Acid-free paper; xv,166 pp.; fuU-name index; photos; maps; hardcover.

Picton Press is noted for the quality of booksthey pubUsh. They use acid-free paper and takegreat pride in providing smyth sewn, case-boundhardcover books, (continued on page 33)



They take equal pride in what appears on theprinted page. This book is no exception. Writtenby Hank Jones, Jr. (Those MAGS members whowere lucky enough to be at the 1989 fallconference wiU remember him.), a FeUow of theAmerican Society of Genealogists and winner ofthe Jacobus award for his book on New YorkGermans, this book traces 172 different Germansurnames of 1710 Palatine immigrants to Ireland.Many of the descendants of these German toIreland immigrants later moved to America andCanada.

Rarely does one find such a definitive study inprint. Seldom can we be sure that the research isof a quaUty to be trusted. Here we have both. IfJones is not sure, he tells you. While specificdocumentation is lacking, Jones gives the source ofhis information and the complete description of thesource is to be found in his "Some Hints for Usingthis Book." Anyone with German ancestry ofunknown origin and many with "Irish" ancestrywould be weU advised to check this book for apossible answer to their problem.

Harris, Maurine and Glen. ConciseGenealogical Dictionary. Salt Lake City, Utah:Ancestry, Inc., 1989. xii, 259 pp.; softcover.

Have you ever: Plowed through Black's LawDictionary trying to figure out what a legal termmeant two hundred years ago? Wondered whyonly "neat" cattle were taxed? Wanted to knowwhat kind of disease killed an ancestor who diedof cramp colic! Wondered what ca sa or LSmeant when found on a legal document? Wantedto know what your relatives were doing when theydeUvered livery of seisin? Then this is the bookfor you.

This is not meant to be a definitive study andit isn't. For example, the explanation of entail is

of little value; it would take pages to cover thetopic. However, the authors have provided asmaU, easy to take with you book that gives a briefdefinition of many of those terms encountered inour searches and nowhere else. In addition, to thedefinitions there is a separate section dealing withcommonly found abbreviations; however, if one isnot familiar with Latin reference wiU often have to

be made to the term itself in the first section.

While I am sure items have been omitted and

some of the definitions do not cover all of the

useful meanings, this is stiU one of those booksthat should be in any genealogical Ubrary.

Hoenstine, Floyd G. Guide to Genealogicaland Historical Research in Pennsylvania. n.p.:n.p.,1978. iv, 604 pp.; last-name index; hardcover.

Pennsylvania researchers usually encounter theHoenstine Rental Library somewhere in theirsearch. The Guide is a list and brief description ofthe books available for rent from the Hoenstine

Library. The book is an annotated bibliography ofPennsylvania research sources, but the mainattraction to most researchers is that it also indexes

the surnames of the famiUes in these books. While

most of the books do deal with Pennsylvaniahistory and genealogies many do not. J.T.McAUister's Virginia Militia and Ohio VaUey inthe Colonial Days are among the entries.

The author warns that aU names are not

included in the index "being too numerous," andthat items listed for the locality should also besearched. However, when the reference forCumberland County was checked the note"References too numerous to include. Name found

in aU communities." was found. The book is not

definitive; few are. It is a valuable source book(continued on page 34)

The authors have done extensive work inmicrofilmed German records and have provided1717 descendants with answers to their Germanancestry.
