Myers, compiler Female Index to "Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England" by James Savage James Savage’s Genealogical Dictionary of the First Settlers of New England is one of the greatest works ever published on New England genealogy. Because the work is arranged alhabetically by males' surnames, the females identified by Savage throughout the four volumes are difficult to find, and if the husbands' names are unknown, these ladies cannot be found. This new Female Index, however, lists all the women alphabetically by maiden name and married name (more than 50,000 names altogether), making them as easy to locate as the men. Price: $35.00

McCartney Virginia Immigrants and Adventurers, 1607-1635: A Biographical Dictionary This book brings together a variety of primary sources that inform the reader about Virginia's earliest European inhabitants and the sparsely populated and fragile communities in which they lived, resulting in the most comprehensive collection of annotated biographical sketches yet published. Ms. McCartney conveys the basics about many of these original colonists: their origins, the names of the ships they sailed on, the names of the "hundreds" and "plantations" they inhabited, the names of their spouses and children, their occupations and their position in the colony, their relationships with fellow colonists and Indian neighbors, their living conditions as far as can be ascertained from documentary sources, their ownership of land, the dates and circumstances of their death, and a host of fascinating, sometimes incidental details about their personal lives, all gathered together in the handy format of a biographical dictionary. Maps provided here identify the sites at which Virginia's earliest plantations were located and enable genealogists and students of colonial history to link most of the more than 5,500 people included in this volume to the cultural landscape. An introductory chapter, moreover, includes an overview of local and regional settlement and provides succinct histories of the various plantations established in Tidewater Virginia by 1635. Price: $49.95

Price: $20.00

Dobson Ships from Scotland to North America, 1830-1860: Volume II The purpose of this series is to enable researchers to link their emigrant ancestors’ first whereabouts in America with their port of embarkation in Scotland—and thus possibly the emigrants’ regions of origin. Based mostly on sailings documented in contemporary newspapers and other sources found in North American archives, Volume II identifies an additional 1,500 ships that made thousands of transatlantic passages between 1830 and 1860. For all of these voyages, the notices announced the departure of a particular ship that had the capacity and opportunity to carry passengers. Mr. Dobson has arranged the vessels in alphabetical order and gives, for each voyage, port of origin, port and date of arrival, name of captain, source of information, and sometimes the number of passengers. While not exhaustive, Volume II brings us closer to identifying the names, ports, and dates of departure/arrival of the majority of ships that participated in this important exodus. Price: $19.50

McDonnell Jacobites of 1715 and 1745. North East Scotland 2 vols. in 1 Price: $16.50

Mercer Bermuda Settlers of the 17th Century Genealogical Notes from Bermuda These "Genealogical Notes from Bermuda" were published serially in Tyler's Quarterly between 1942 and 1947 and have lain largely unnoticed by the genealogical researcher. The collected "Notes" consist of abstracts of the earliest known records of Bermuda settlers, many of whom, or their descendants removed to the mainland and were among the pioneer settlers of the Carolinas, Georgia, and Virginia. The records given here are arranged by family and appear thereunder in chronological sequence. Of paramount interest, however, are the compiler's own notes, which in many cases establish family relationships and carry the family backward to England and forward to the mainland. Price: $27.50

Chapman Wills and Administrations of Elizabeth City County, Virginia 1688-1800 With Other Genealogical and Historical Items Price: $22.50

Chapman Wills and Administrations of Southampton County, Virginia, 1749-1800 The abstracts of wills and administrations are arranged throughout in more or less chronological order by the name of the deceased.

The administration records generally provide the dates of inventory and appraisal, names of auditors and appraisers, and references concerning the settlement of the estate. The approximately 2,500 wills and administrations in this work refer to approximately 8,000 persons. Many of the wills furnish evidence of North Carolina connections as well. Price: $22.50

Dunn, ed. Warwick County, Virginia Colonial Court Records in Transcription. Third edition The original records of Warwick County have never been transcribed--until now. Thanks to the prodigious efforts of Mr. Richard Dunn and The Jones House Association of Williamsburg, Virginia, however, we are in possession of a meticulously transcribed volume which purports to gather up the crumbling documents of colonial Warwick--some of them from the 1640s--and make them accessible to researchers for the first time. Arranged by repository and thereunder chronologically, the entries derive mostly from court order books, record books, minutes, cattle accounts, and a variety of miscellaneous materials. In the aggregate, the transcriptions do researchers the service of placing upwards of 10,000 Virginia ancestors in Warwick County at a particular moment during the colonial period. Price: $49.95
