From the preface: The purpose of this book is to make a record of the background, life and descendants of Daniel, Alice, and Mastin, the three sons of Daniel Cook Sr. of South Carolina all of who founded families in Wilcox County Alabama.  The writers have correlated materials from family bibles, gravestones, census reports, tract deeds, wills, and marriage books in the Wilcox County Court House, and records from the archives in AL, KY, SC, TX, DC; as well as earlier genealogical publications, and the private papers of the four generations of Cooks who have lived at Cook Hill. As they were able, the authors have included information about the other eight brothers and sis of the  Wilcox Cooks and about the families into which the cook have married. Reminiscences, anecdotes, and other family notes have been included as preserving the flavor of the past.

It's an interesting read, with an alphabetized surname index.  Very helpful to any one researching those lines associated with the Cooks.

If you are a genealogist looking to get a better understanding of how land ownership played an important part in your family roots, I'd highly recommend Price's book.

This should required reading for geneologists of Clan MacRae and all their seps (family name variations).  I found a lot of useful information in the material. Most of it is basic, accurate, family tree data (and lots of it).  PDF format.  I'd buy it all over again, in a second.

Genealogy 101 by Barbara Renick is a College course in a 241 page book.  A perfect book for the beginner or experienced family researcher.  Each chapter is full of resources like online websites and addresses for societies and other services that every researcher may need.

Barbara Renick then adds her own stories of success and frustration to help drive each lesson home.  Her stories re-enforce a point plus add some entertainment.  Barbara's advice will help save me time and frustration.  Like the saying goes, those who do not know history are bound to repeat it.

I personally have a drawer full of photo copies, notes, letters and pictures from 20 years of gathering little tidbits of my family history from many different family members.  Sometimes the thought of organizing this information seems so daunting a task.  Where do I start?

After reading this book, I feel very prepared and confident of where to start.  I have a plan and so many resources that my tree should rapidly grow with my ancestors and their stories.  I see this book becoming a well worn tool and companion on my genealogical journey that can now begin.

This book is a real gem, if you are looking for genealogy that relates to members of the Trigg family.  It is a very thick book, filled with many details.  Highly recommend for anyone researching the Trigg family members from North Carolina!

Richard Hill has written an excellent book for every adopted person or anyone interested in their family history.  Mr. Hill learned from an unexpected source that he is adopted just before he entered college, and his story takes you with him on his up-and-down journey in finding his birth parents.  Just when you think he has found them, the clues provide a new wrinkle, giving an air of mystery to his hunt.  His book is as entertaining as it is informative about the false leads and dead-ends found in searching someone's family, BUT it also provides an excellent path to follow for anyone searching for their parents or relatives.

This book has been a fantastic tool in my research on family genealogy. Much of the information has confirmed what I knew, and much of the information has filled in a lot of blanks. This is great for any Harris or Maupin descendent..

Obviously this would only interest you if you do genealogy...which I do. Hardin County is hard to find info and this book really helps! Thanks Ed Ferrell for putting this together. You can tell you took a lot of time and effort to put it together.

Most of us have those stashs of old report cards, faded photos, locks of hair tied with a ribbon, and yellowing marriage certificates from other generations.  This book gives ideas for pulling those items together in a meaningful album.
The author covers the needed supplies (choice of album, papers, decorative touches) and the pros and cons of each.  Journaling is explained and the ways to present your information, documenting the sources and show off your family heritage.
It's a lovely book to get you started or to give to your family genealogist.  They will be thrilled with the ideas for preserving and presenting your family memorabilia along with this history.
At the back are helpful forms for a family tree and to track your research.  There you also find 3 pages of genealogy resources, 3 pages of scrapbooking resources, a list of websites, and a glossary to help with unfamiliar terms.

I stumbled upon this book as I was looking for the burial listings for the Kniceley-McCray cemetery located in Braxton County, WV.  It directed me to this book.  What a wonderful book!  It lists my husband's family in a lot of the pages.  It also shows pictures of his grandparents that he didn't even knew existed.  This is like a family history book for him.  He grew up in Replete, WV above Marpleton.  This area was his "stomping grounds" as a young boy.  We had no idea of the tales of this area and other surrounding  areas such as Diana, WV.  It has opened our eyes to what the people of his great grandparent's and grandparent's time had to go thru.  He also didn't realize that his grandfather had been raised by an uncle.  He also didn't realize that his great-grandfather was from Canada.  This has been one of the best investments I have made for my husband and for my children and my grandchildren.  They will forever have their Brown family history documented.  Thank you so much!

Loved this item and will always treasure it.  My grandparents were married in the church in August 1919.  Great reading and very informative.  I am a family genealogist with 30 years experience and enjoyed every word of this book.

Anyone involved in historical or genealogical research in Rockbridge County should have this book!  History of the early settlements, participation in Revolutionary and Civil Wars, and quite a bit of  genealogical information is included in this book - along with a lot of  other information. I have found it extremely helpful in my research of  Rockbridge County.
