Book Description
This researcher's handbook provides information on what types of historical records may be available for persons who lived in Florida in the nineteenth century. It includes many types of records that are not available through the popular online genealogy databases and, therefore, are often overlooked. These include the pre-1821 records of the Spanish provinces of East Florida and West Florida, the early territorial records, and most county records. Using images of actual records, the book shows what type of information can be found in each. This is followed by instructions on how to obtain the record in print, microfilm and/or online. Maps, tables, and photos are used to supplement and provide context for how to interpret the records. This book covers the following records for 19th century Florida:African American records, agricultural census, cemetery records, federal and state population censuses, church records, city directories, county borders, death notices and obituaries, family Bibles, immigration records, jury/court records, land patents and deeds, marks and brands, marriage records, military returns (forts), military service records, naming patterns, Native American records, naturalization records, newspapers, online mapping systems, passports, photo archives, physician's license, PLSS maps, slave records, Social Security Application (SS-5), Spanish archives for East and West Florida, Spanish land grants, federal and local taxes, territorial papers, voter lists, will and probate records, and more. The anticipated users of the book will be genealogists, biographers, historians, and college and high school students who are seeking primary source material.

Discovering Genealogical Roots in Suwanee County, Florida (late 1700's to Early 1900's)
Author: Harold Borden Bennett
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780788407314
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
In 1992, the author began writing a genealogical column, titled, "What's in a Name," for the Suwanee Democrat in Live Oak, Florida. Upon the request that he publish his findings in book form, he compiled the information into the work provided here. Mr. Bennett was able to find significant amounts of information dealing with Suwanee County, and although the county was not officially formed until 1858, he "discovered a great deal of information predating that time." The majority of the information transcribed here is from the 19th century, but there is some from both the 18th and 20th centuries as well. The book begins with a chapter discussing some basic information regarding genealogical research, and is followed by a chapter containing a general history of Suwanee County, a timeline of important events, and biographical sketches of many early settlers. In the next eight chapters, Mr. Bennett transcribes data from a variety of records containing valuable genealogical information, including land grants, voter lists, wills, probate records, military and pension records, marriage records, tax lists, and court cases. Yet another chapter covers area cemeteries and burials of residents born before 1850. The last chapter contains articles to help one "discover how the settlers came to this area [Suwanee County] and where they came from." There is a detailed table of contents and a surname index to aid the researcher. This is the best available source pertaining to family histories of early "Suwanee Countians."
