Lantz Raymond C.
Ottawa and Chippewa Indians of Michigan 1870-1909
Bowie: Heritage Books. New. 1991 2006. Trade Paperback. 288 pages. This book contains three transcriptions of censuses taken by the Bureau of Indian Affairs to determine the eligibility of people of Indian descent for monies appropriated by Congress. The first chapter contains the 1870 census and annuity payment records of the Grand River Mackinac Sault Ste. Marie and Traverse Bands of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians of Michigan. These records name the head of the household and give a count of the other members and information on their annuity. The second chapter is of greater genealogical interest because it is a listing of those persons in the 1870 enumeration and all their known descendants as found living on a special enumeration made on 4 March 1907. This listing gives the name and age of each person in the household with various supplemental information. The third chapter contains a listing of children born after 4 March 1907 and before 1 August 1909. These records give name date of birth parents and some other data. A major resource for people descended from these Ottawa and Chippewa Indians! . Heritage Books paperback

Egle William Henry
Virginia Claims to Land in Western Pennsylvania Published with an Account of the Donation Lands of Pennsylvania: Excerpted from Pennsylvania Archives
Baltimore: Clearfield Company. New. 2001. Paperback. In 1754 the colonies of Virginia and Pennsylvania entered into a dispute over the ownership of what is today the southwest corner of Pennsylvania. At the time Virginia's claim which was encompassed within the boundaries of Augusta County embraced all of Pennsylvania west of Laurel Hill and included the present-day counties of Westmoreland Fayette Greene Washington and parts of Allegheny and Beaver. The dispute raged over the course of the French and Indian War and the Revolutionary War--during which time frontier forts were constructed rights for land were ceded by Virginia and settlement waxed and waned--until commissioners for the two states of Virginia and Pennsylvania were appointed in 1780 to draw proper boundaries. Eventually in 1784 new meridian lines were run confirming the present-day boundaries of the two states. The first of the two excerpts from the Pennsylvania Archives reprinted here Virginia Claims to Land in Western Pennsylvania is a complete list of Virginia land entries in the aforementioned Pennsylvania counties between 1779 and 1780. For each of the 1300 entries we are given the date of the entry the name s of the parties to the transaction and occasional references to subsequent transfers of grants the amount of acreage and a landmark indicating where the land was situated. Preceding the land records is a fascinating history of the thirty-year dispute between the two colonies/states. The second excerpt An Account of the Donation Lands of Pennsylvania concerns the March 1780 statute enacted by the state legislature granting land in western Pennsylvania to the soldiers of the Pennsylvania Line who served in the Continental Army. The list of eligible soldiers is preceded by an introductory sketch informing us that the donation area comprised parts of the contemporary counties of Lawrence Butler Armstrong Venango Forest Warren Erie and all of Mercer and Crawford. Here we learn the story of how the lands were surveyed the terms under which the land could be claimed contact with Indians in that region and so forth. The 3000 members of the Pennsylvania Line entitled to a donation are identified by name rank regiment acreage awarded and sometimes whether the individual claimed the land was killed in action relinquished his right to the land etc. .

Mitchell Brian
Irish Passenger Lists 1803-1806
Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Company. New. 1995. Hardcover. Index. . 154 pages. Except for the brief period from March 1803 to March 1806 no official registers of passengers leaving Irish ports were ever kept. The exception refers to lists contained in the so-called Hardwicke Papers now located in the British Library London. Altogether some 4500 passengers are identified in the 109 sailings recorded in the Hardwicke Papers--most cited with their all-important place of residence. Although Dublin was the most popular port of departure the three northern ports of Belfast Londonderry and Newry accounted for 61% of the sailings. New York was far and away the most popular destination with Philadelphia running a reasonable second. The Hardwicke lists only fragments of which have ever appeared in print as transcribed by Brian Mitchell now fill a significant gap in the records since in many cases they will prove to be the only record of an ancestor's emigration to the U. S. . Genealogical Publishing Company hardcover

Stryker Rodda Harriet
Understanding Colonial Handwriting
Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co. New. Paperback. In genealogical research it is all very well to locate original records but to read them correctly is another matter altogether. Few people know this better than Harriet Stryker-Rodda who after years of experience searching through colonial records has developed a simple technique for reading colonial handwriting. In this handy little book Mrs. Stryker-Rodda presents examples of colonial letter forms and script showing the letter forms in the process of development and marking the ways in which they differ from later letter forms. She also provides a comparison of English and American handwriting and examples of name forms and signatures all to bear out her central thesis that the reader must find meaning in a group of symbols without needing to see each letter of which the whole is composed. This excellent guidebook is indispensable in dealing with the problems of reading and interpretation. . Genealogical Publishing Co paperback
