With over 1400 Carolina surnames referenced in this major work, Mr.
Hehir provides, in one source, a comprehensive listing of all
printed Carolina genealogies and family histories that have made
their way into major library collections across the U.S. The
This book is fourth in a series of volumes compiled from records
originally collected by members of the Delaware chapters of the
Daughters of the American Revolution. The majority of the family
records deal with the late 1700s through the early 1900s, although
a scattering extend beyond this point. As is the nature of Bible
records, some records are sketchy and simply list the date of the
event and the names of the principal people involved; others are
more detailed and include where the event occurred, who officiated
at the event, and, in the case of a death, the cause. Many entries
include a description of the origin of the records, such as the
owner of the original Bible, where it was printed, the name of the
publisher, and by whom the records were copied. Lineage charts are
also provided for some records. The records are listed
alphabetically by principal family name. In addition to marriage,
birth, and death information, newspaper clippings, handwritten
notes attached to or written on the pages, and personal letters
found in the Bibles are also transcribed. The author provides
additional biographical information at times, as well as explaining
spelling peculiarities of a name and describing any unique physical
characteristics of the Bibles. An index is provided to help the
researcher locate buried names within the records. Donald. O.
Virdin, the compiler of the previous volumes, has written a preface
to this edition which introduces Donald M. Hehir as the new
compiler.
