The First Census of the United States in 1790 comprised an
enumeration of the inhabitants of the present states of
Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, and
Virginia. Unfortunately, during the War of 1812, when the British
burned the Capitol at Washington, the returns for several states
were destroyed, including those for Virginia. However, the United
States Government, with the cooperation of the Virginia State
Library, published the "Heads of Families at the First Census of
the United States Taken in the Year 1790; Records of the State
Enumerations 1782 to 1785: Virginia," in an attempt to partially
reconstruct Virginia's 1790 Census. This book is a critical
supplement to the United States Census of 1790. It consists of an
alphabetical listing of approximately 34,000 taxpayers in Virginia
that were not included in the 1790 Census, and whose names were
compiled from personal property tax lists from 35 individual
Virginia counties. Softcover, (1940), repr. 2006, Alphabetical
Listing, 146 pp.
The marriages contained in this work were transcribed from
microfilmed copies of the original county record books of Scott
County, Tennessee. There are approximately 1,350 marriages
recorded, or approximately 2,700 individual names, arranged
alphabetically by groom surname, with a Brides Index. Each entry
contains the names of bride, groom and the date the license was
issued and/or the date the marriage was solemnized.
This index covers all Rutherford County, Tennessee, will books from
1804 through 1861, the entries of which were transcribed from
microfilm of those original books. There are approximately 2,500
entries, which include the name of deceased, the year of probate or
administration, and where to find the information in the original
will books. Paperback, (1990), 2006, 2013, Index, 34 pp.
This book is a translation of a family history book published in
Norway in 1995 by Jostein Austrheim, called "Utsira, Gard og
slekt." It is a genealogy and record of settlement of the island of
Utsira, the outermost island off the west coast of Norway, from the
earliest written records in 1521 to the present day (1995). Aside
from a detailed genealogy of the families who lived there, it
contains many fascinating old photos, newspaper clippings and
anecdotes from the past.
This index covers all will books and records books from 1795
through 1861. The entries were taken directly from microfilm of the
original books. There are approximately 2,300 entries, which
include the name of deceased, the year of probate or
administration, and where to find the information in the original
will books. Paperback, (1990), repr. 2013, Indexed, 30 pp.
