In it, you will find both general and specific information essential to researchers of American records. This revised 3rd edition provides updated county and town listings within the same overall state-by-state organization. Whether you are looking for your ancestors in the northeastern states, the South, the West, or somewhere in the middle, ""Ancestry's Red Book has information on records and holdings for every county in the United States, as well as excellent maps from renowned mapmaker William Dollarhide. In short, the ""Red Book is simply the book that no genealogist can afford not to have. The availability of census records such as federal, state, and territorial census reports is covered in detail. Unlike the federal census, state and territorial census were taken at different times and different questions were asked. Vital records are also discussed, including when and where they were kept and how to order them. Other records include cemetery, church, court, land, military, probate, and tax records. Resource materials are described such as manuscript materials, newspapers and other periodicals and maps that can be useful in genealogical research. A list of archives, libraries, and societies is provided as well as a special focus category and section for county resources. ""Ancestry's Red Book county lists can also help genealogists track down difficult-to-find records due to boundary and jurisdiction changes. As with the first two editions, this edition is the result of the collective efforts of many professional researchers and state archivists throughout the United States.
