Early Louisiana Settlers [CD] This Family Archive CD is composed of images of the pages of eleven books originally published by the Genealogical Publishing Company, all of which are accessed on this CD by means of a single integrated index. Covering some of the most difficult records to find in all of American genealogy, including early census records, family histories, military records, marriage records, immigration records, and more, it identifies approximately 60,000 Louisiana settlers of the 1700s and early 1800s, including many people of French and German extraction, as well as a mixture of Spanish, English, and Scotch-Irish. This compilation is particularly noteworthy because the majority of the data is otherwise inaccessible and covers a period of time when Louisiana was under French and, later, Spanish control.

German and Swiss Settlers in America, 1700s-1800s [CD] Beginning with a trickle in the 1680s and growing into a virtual flood by the 1720s, immigrants from Germany's Rhineland area and the German-speaking cantons of Switzerland arrived in southeastern Pennsylvania by the thousands. This was the first "ethnic" migration to be officially documented--mainly in the form of ships' passenger lists, records of indenture, naturalization records, land records, tax lists, and sundry church records. Including the earliest passenger arrivals at Philadelphia in 1683, the Swiss and Rhineland arrivals at Philadelphia from 1727 onward, the Palatine immigrants in New York in 1710, the Salzburgers in Georgia in the 1730s, the Texas-Germans of the 1840s, and a host of other groups, as many as 300,000 German and Swiss immigrants and settlers have been identified in a score of books published by the Genealogical Publishing Company, all of which appear on this CD, united by a single electronic index. These are the most authoritative works on German and Swiss immigration, and include the famous Pennsylvania German Pioneers, the most complete collection of colonial passenger lists ever published, as well as several works devoted to Palatine immigration and the later emigration from the port of Bremen.
