Each entry includes a complete transcription of the original title page, which is usually very detailed and precisely identifies the substance and object of the document. Works listed usually cover such facets as: variant family names; ancestry; date of arrival in America; the American progenitor; and marriages, births, and deaths.

INDEX TO AMERICAN GENEALOGIES. Originally published by Joel Munsell's Sons. Albany, New York

Acompanion work to The American Genealogist, this alphabetically–arranged index to American genealogies and to genealogical material contained in town histories, county histories, local histories, historical society publications, biographies, historical periodicals, and kindred works is basic to any genealogical collection.

Its 60,000 references to more than 10,000 families enable the researcher to ascertain with considerable certainty whether the genealogy of any family, or any part of it, was printed prior to 1900, either by itself or in other works. The Index cites the titles of works and then arranges the references to genealogical material in each publication alphabetically under family names, noting the page on which the material is published.

Index to 4,000 families whose arms are described or referred to in text, 1,000 drawings.

HISTORY OF CHRISTIAN NAMES

By Charlotte M. Yonge

Everyone concerned with names and their meanings—from poets and new parents to serious students of comparative nomenclature-will find this book invaluable. For quick reference, a handy 125-page alphabetical glossary of Christian names is given in the first section of the book; the glossary includes the meaning of the name, the language from which it comes, and its root word, together with the page number in the text at which the name is discussed in more detail.

The second section opens with a general discussion of how Christian names evolved within languages, with emphasis on historical and religious origins. Names found in each of several languages (Hebrew, Greek, Latin, and others) are then dealt with, and their emergence and variants are traced. The book concludes with short discussions of late nineteenth-century nomenclature in the countries of Europe.

PERSONAL NAMES: A Bibliography

Compiled and Annotated by Elsdon C. Smith

Because this book was originally published in 1952 by the New York Public Library in a very limited edition, many librarians, historians, scholars, researchers, and students either have been unaware of it or have had no access to it. It is a fundamental guide to English-language books, parts of books, and articles that deal with personal names-their meaning, use, characteristics, etymology, etc. Personal Names covers published materials having to do with such topics as fashions in Christian names; sermons on Christian names; boys' and girls' names; Bible names; naming ceremonies; names of gods and devils; etiquette in use of names; fiction about names; nicknames; psychology of names; superstition and magic of names; surnames; words derived from names; and many other aspects of the subject. Mr. Smith has rated each source as "good," "fair," or "poor."
