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.

This book is the sixth and last volume in a series compiled from records originally collected by members of the Delaware chapters of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Most of the family records deal with the late 1700s through the early 1900s, though many extend beyond this point. As in the previous volumes, 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. Donald O. Virdin compiled the first three volumes; Donald M. Hehir compiled the fourth; and Luverne V. Hall and Mr. Virdin the fifth. This is the largest volume in the series, which is a must for anyone interested in genealogy in the mid-Atlantic region.

This handy guidebook to existing published works belongs in the library of anyone searching for their New England ancestors, or researching Massachusetts family histories and genealogies. The author has researched and compiled this valuable bibliographic reference tool from the abundance of genealogical works about Massachusetts family histories and genealogies that are available to the public. Bibliographic references are grouped alphabetically by family name, with titles arranged alphabetically by author. Individual book listings contain author, publisher and publication date (as available) to make location easier. This volume also provides a list of the major Massachusetts libraries, codes to library abbreviations with a very brief glossary, a list of Massachusetts genealogical societies, a bibliography and a fullname index.
