Description
Everton's Handybook for Genealogists is one of the most valuable genealogy bibliography collections currently available. It is an indispensable resource for any genealogist attempting to trace their heritage using the county record system of the United States. The Handybook contains: well-researched histories of each state, state capital and the territories, descriptions and addresses for each state's major record collections and protocol for requesting vital records, information on researching records for nineteen foreign countries, complete contact information for libraries, repositories, and historical/genealogical societies, detailed county maps and over 120 migration trail maps. The Handybook also incorporates an in-depth tracking system for every county in each state, including counties that no longer exist, to help genealogists determine which county records to research. This timesaving feature makes this volume the most comprehensive resource for county information in the United States available today.
