During the last-half of the 1800s, each California County periodically produced their Great Register, as required by legislation, and which published the County Voter Registration List for the specified period. At election time, published copies of these books were given to local precincts to verify voter registration, and following the election, most books were discarded or destroyed. The individual County Clerks of each county certified the publications as 'true and complete.' El Dorado County, California, was in the heart of 'Gold Country, ' during the great Gold Rush of 1849. Thousands of individuals, from all over the United States, descended upon this area in search of their fortune, and many remained following the bust. This 1867 Voter Registration for El Dorado County is a valuable resource for local historians and genealogists. The information it contains includes the names, ages, place of nativity, occupation, and place of residence of each registered voter in the County, and totals approximately 5,000 individuals. These books are rare and extremely difficult to locate. They do, however, provide researchers with valuable information often found only in the original records.

In colonial days and until the Statute of Religious Freedom and the "dis-establishment" of the Episcopal Church in Virginia, the Church was not only a religious institution, but it was also in a very real sense a public, official, governmental agency. The whole institution was supported from public revenue. Consequently, and in addition to what we now know as "public records," the only records of births, marriages and death officially kept were parish or church records. Lunenburg County, Virginia, was established on May 1, 1746, from Brunswick County, and shared the same boundaries with Cumberland Parish. The vestry book, which is contained within this work, is replete with records of birth, baptism, marriage, and death, as well as an abundance of land transactions. To this, the author has provided extensive genealogical sketches of many families of Cumberland Parish. Paperback, (1930), Illus, Index, 646 pp.

United States Geological Survey 248, Series F, Geography 44. A gazetteer is a geographical dictionary or directory used in conjunction with a map or atlas that can provide detailed information about dates, locations, settlements, county boundaries, population, and more. For the historical or genealogical researcher, they are especially useful when attempting to locate an ancestor or an event in a given location years prior, but that named location is no longer shown on maps or in recent literature. This work contains an extensive list, arranged alphabetically, of Indian Territory place names including villages, towns, cities, counties, post villages, rivers, creeks, tributaries, mountains, and other topographical information. Indian Territory is situated in the south-central part of the United States, between latitudes 33 25' and' 37 00' and between longitudes 94 25' and 98 00'. It is bounded on the north by Kansas, on the east by Arkansas, on the south by Texas, and on the west by Oklahoma. The area of the Territory is 31,400 square miles. The great body of the Territory is divided among five tribes-the Cherokee, whose reservation is in the northern part; the Creek, in the central part; the Seminole, just west of them; the Choctaw, in the southeast; and the Chickasaw, in the southwest. On these reservations the people have developed a considerable degree of civilization and have been long known as the Five Civilized Tribes. Besides these there are a number of small tribes who have reservations grouped in the northeast corner of the Territory. These are: Quapaw, Peoria, Modoc, Ottawa, Wyandot, and Shawnee. The Cherokee, Creek, Choctaw, and Chickasaw were removed from the South to this Territory about 1833. The Seminole, who came from Florida, were, after a costly war, removed to their present reservation in 1845. Each tribe has its own system of government, which is patterned in many ways after our State governments, with a governor, a legislature, and judiciary of their own. The total population of the Territory in 1900 was 392,060, of which not less than 302,680 were whites, 52,500 were Indians, and 36,853 were negroes, either former slaves of the Indians or their descendants.

This genealogy is a study in the old world as well as the new. Extensive references have been given, countless books have been consulted, nearly all procured from New England Historical and Genealogical Society, and to "Colonial Families," compiled by the New York Historical Society. The author depended on printed records, and when authorities differed, a conclusion was reached by critical comparison and the weighing of evidence. Many family records never printed before have been used. Mrs. Rixford, a noted genealogist and author of several works, including "Three Hundred Colonial Ancestors and War Service," has traced from Cerdic, first of the West Saxon Kings, 495, through Alfred the Great, 849, Robert Bruce, King of Scotland, King Henry I, II and III, King Edward I, II and III, also many other royal lines through Charlemagne, Louis I, Earls of Warren, Dukes of Normandy, Royal House of Portugal, House of Capet, Counts of Anjou, Kings of Jerusalem, and many other royal families too numerous to name. She has also included several Mayflower lines connected to all members of the Vermont Society of Mayflower Descendants, who are direct descendants of these lines. Those with ancestry to the Earls of Warren have been connected up to the royal families. The book also includes the ancestry of Gen. George Washington, the first President of the United States, traced back 1,000 years to the Earl of Orkney Isles, the founder of the Washington family. It also contains the ancestry of Gen. Nathaniel Greene, who ranked next in military fame to George Washington.
