Marriage and Death Notices Transcribed From the Pages of the Lebanon Valley Standard. Robert A. Heilman. (1995), 2009, 5½x8½, paper, index, 298 pp. Founded in 1871, the Lebanon Valley Standard was a weekly newspaper that covered events in Berks, Dauphin, Lancaster, Lebanon, and Schuylkill Counties, Pennsylvania, until its shut-down in 1879. This book is a compilation of marriage and death notices, arranged in chronological order, from 1871 to 1879. Reported marriages and deaths took place in the above-listed counties; occasionally, marriages and deaths of former residents were also reported, from as far away as Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, and Ohio. This book makes an exceptionally good reference, because it catalogs marriages and deaths prior to 1885, the year that Pennsylvania began keeping official records. Over 1,500 marriage notices and more than 1,700 death notices are contained in these pages. Notices are transcribed "as is" from their original publication, and an every name index provides easy access to the more than 6,000 names herein. H0181 - $28.00 |

(1820, 1994), 2009, 5½x8½, paper, index, 362 pp. Buchanan's primary purpose in writing the book was to present the history of his own family of Buchanan; his "A Historical and Genealogical Essay upon the Family and Surname of Buchanan" comprises over half the book. But he did as well provide histories of the following clans: MacDonald, MacDougal, MacNeil, MacLean, MacLeod, MacIntosh, MacPherson, Robertson, MacFarlane, Cameron, MacNauchtan, MacGregor, Colquhoun, Lamont, and MacAulay. He also included a transcription of the "Genealogies of the Chieff Clans of the Iles: collected by me, Sir Donald Monro, Heigh Dean of the Iles," which in turn gave early information about: Clan Donald, the Earls of Ross and Abbots of Ferne, and Clan Gunn, Clan Leod, and Clan Leandris (now surnamed Ross). The Buchanan section provides detailed information about the main branch of the family, as well as the collateral branches of Auchmar, Spittel, Arnpryor, Drumikill, Carbeth, Lenny, Auchneiven, Miltoun, Cashill, Arduill, Sallochie, and the septs of MacAuslan, MacMillan, MacColman, MacMaurice, MacAndeoir, MacChruiter, and MacGreusich.

Abstracts of the Deaths and Marriages in the Hightstown Gazette, Vol. 2, 1872-1877. Richard S. Hutchinson. (2001), 2009, 8½x11, paper, index, 162 pp. The Hightstown Gazette issued its first edition in April 1861. This weekly paper consisted of only four pages, but from those four pages one can reconstruct the history of the people, their community, and their entire state. One full page was dedicated to "local" news consisting of deaths, marriages, who was visiting whom, who was sick, moving, building a new house or business, etc. News from other states was also carried, especially if it reflected on residents who had migrated elsewhere. News items from neighboring Middlesex, Monmouth and Burlington Counties; including deaths, marriages, and personal items from exchanged papers were often included. In many cases, the information printed here from the exchanged papers is now lost to history as the exchanged issues did not always survive. Present-day Hightstown is centrally located approximately fifteen miles east of Trenton, and equally distant from Philadelphia and New York by fifty miles. This chronological collection of abstracts spans a ten-year period, with the exception of papers from the Civil War years of November 1862 to September 1865, which have never been microfilmed and are presumed missing. Listings include marriages, and list the deaths of all persons, as reported by the paper, who died in New Jersey or those who had "roots" in New Jersey. Marriage listings include (as available) date and place of marriage, name of the reverend performing the ceremony, names of bride and groom, and name of the bride's father or other relative. Death listings include (as available) name of the deceased, date and place of death, cause of death, name of father or other relative, and place of burial. A full-name index adds to the value of this work. H1858 - $24.00 |

Hamilton County, Ohio, Burial Records, Volume 12: Calvary Cemetery. Hamilton County Chapter OGS. (2000), 2009, 8½x11, paper, index, 318 pp. Calvary Cemetery is located in the Cincinnati, Ohio, suburb of Evanston and covers thirteen acres. The first burial was recorded in November 1865; over 17,000 interments have since been made and the grounds remain active. This new work reprints Calvary Cemetery's burial records in their entirety, cross-referenced with readings from headstones and markers to ensure accuracy. Records are arranged alphabetically by surname and contain (wherever available): full name of the deceased, date of birth, date of death, age at time of death and date of interment, with cemetery section, lot and row numbers. Generally, these records contain little supplemental information but do occasionally note familial relations (such as father, mother, sister, or brother), military service and name changes. In addition to thousands of Cincinnati area residents, Calvary Cemetery is also the resting place of Sisters from three religious convents: the Sisters of St. Ursula Convent and Academy in Section E, the Little Sisters of the Poor in Sections S and I, and the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, also in Section I. These women are listed together with fellow members of their order, identified by both their birth and religious names. Their surnames, as well as those of allied family members, are included in the "Additional Family Related Surname Index" which closes this volume. A map is included showing the locations of all burial grounds in Hamilton County, followed by plats for each section of Calvary Cemetery. H1433 - $38.50 |

Our Maryland Heritage, Book 9: Purdum Families. William Neal Hurley, Jr.. (1998), 2009, 5½x8½, paper, index, 306 pp. This work, the ninth in a series of books about Maryland families, focuses on the Purdum families, primarily of Montgomery and Frederick Counties. Having early origins in the area, and being rather prolific, the Purdum families intermarried with many of those families found in the first eight books of his series, and some of the information presented there will be repeated here, rather than requiring the reader to move back and forth between the various volumes in the series. Following the custom of the earlier works in this series, the book begins with a look at the early history of the Maryland Colony and the formation of the counties. From there, it moves into early Purdum family records, including John Purdum (born before 1700), who appears to be the progenitor of virtually all of the Purdums thus far identified in the study. John had at least four children, one of whom was James Purdum (born about 1720). James had at least one son, and probably several other children, but the one that the author has identified is yet another John Purdum (born about 1739). Individual chapters focus on: John Purdum and his family of at least eleven children, Walter Purdum, the descendants of Joshua Purdum, and others. Some family members, not identified within the framework of the principal family study are also touched on. A bibliography of over 100 titles testifies to the wide range of sources used in this compilation, and a full-name index supplies over 4,500 names. This book is a must for anyone researching the Purdum surname in this area. H0863 - $28.00 |

It appears herein on the first fifty pages and thence chronologically in connection with the first named record. There is a third book, styled “Book No. 1” of the town records, into which some matters of the book have imperfectly copies. Records therein, not found in the other two books, appear herein in proper order. These records have been carefully transcribed to follow the original words, letters, punctuation and blank spaces so that the reader has all the advantages that can be gained from the original, save the handwriting.

Traxel, Trexel, Trexler, Trissler, Trostle, Troxel and Similar Surnames Beginning with the letters T and D Found in the Early Records of Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin: A Resource Book. Laura Hawley. (2000), 2009, 5½x8½, paper, index, 450 pp. The similar pronunciation of the T and the D at the beginning of German surnames creates an interchangeable sound, making it imperative for family history researchers to check the records of surnames beginning with each of those letters. While searching for Trexler family records, the author was able to identify 173 families with identical of similar surnames. The greatest variation in the subject surname spellings was found in 18th century records, which are the focus of this work. By the early 19th century, families and individuals had developed a pattern of consistent use of their chosen surname spelling. The purpose of this work is to help individuals researching these and similar surnames to identify target individuals easily, regardless of the surname changes that resulted as the family evolved. Therefore, this work does not include extensive family histories, but it does give actual source records from which 173 individual family units have been documented. A researcher interested in a particular individual or family unit will be able to quickly eliminate a great deal of background research, and he or she can concentrate on the particular geographic area in which the individual is found and the variations in surname spellings under which they are found. Supplemental sections in this book include cemetery, census, church, chancery, city directory, probate, wills, distributions, immigration, deeds, land, tax records, marriage records, Revolutionary War, War of 1812, militia records, newspaper references and miscellaneous records which did not fit into one of the previously defined groups. They include both published and non-published sources with all variations of the subject surnames. They are grouped under each heading by geographic locality, followed by the name of the record, and then by the name of the individual in the record. There is a full name index as well as a general index. H1453 - $36.50 |

Our Maryland Heritage, Book 4: The Watkins Families. William Neal Hurley, Jr.. (1997), 2009, 5½x8½, paper, index, 264 pp. This work, the fourth in a series of books about Maryland families, is primarily an account of the ancestors and descendants of Jeremiah Watkins. The Watkins families’ prevalence in Montgomery County, Maryland, is illustrated by the fact that an 1879 atlas of the Washington area, which includes Montgomery County, lists no less than sixteen Watkins families. The book opens with an introduction to the early Watkins families, primarily of Anne Arundel County, Maryland, with some progenitors living as early as 1410. The principal subject of the following chapter is John Watkins, 3rd, who died about 1696 in Anne Arundel County. Subsequent chapters follow his numerous descendants: Nicholas Watkins, Sr., his son (b.1691); Jeremiah Watkins, his grandson (b.1743); along with Thomas Watkins, his great-grandson (b.1774); Alpha Watkins, his great-great grandson (b.1803); the descendants of Samuel B. Watkins (b.1807); and the descendants of Denton Watkins (b.1795). Later chapters discuss a number of other individuals bearing the Watkins surname found in the same geographic area as the others above, and perhaps related. This book reads like a collection of rural Montgomery County mailboxes and town names. It’s not hard to believe that these families were the early settlers of the area. The bibliography lists about a hundred sources used in the preparation of this volume, and the every-name index lists 4,000 or more names included in the book. H0752 - $26.00 |
