This book is the third volume in a series compiled from Bible 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 of records extend beyond this period. 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 it occurred, who officiated at the event, and, in the case of 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. The records are listed alphabetically by the 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. Some entries are supplemented by data from the author's personal files. A full-name index adds to the value of this work.

This work is a list of books about families who have Texas roots. Most of the approximately 2,500 books are found in the collections of the Library of Congress, The Daughters of the American Revolution Library in Washington, D.C., or the National Genealogical Society Library in Arlington, Virginia. It is interesting to note that very few histories of Texas families were written prior to 1910. For this reason the authors have added about sixty pages of other books, including county histories and other references to Texas families, that will be helpful to any genealogist researching a Texas family. The authors have also included a list of major Texas libraries with genealogical collections. The books are arranged alphabetically by surname. A bibliography and a full name index are included.
