British and German Deserters, Dischargees and Prisoners of War Who May Have Remained in Canada and the United States, 1774-1783
"The names presented hereinafter have been taken from the huge collection of muster rolls in the British Record Office, archival group War Office 12, for the period beginning about 1774 (if the military unit was already stationed in America) to 1783 (when the British units were withdrawn from American soil at the end of the Revolution"--Introd.
Emigrants from Fellbach (Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany), 1735-1930
Clifford Neal Smith originally released this title as German-American Genealogical Research Monograph 14. It is based on the work of Otto Conrad, which was published in German in 1934. Smith's introduction discusses the method used to gather the information and the varying reasons for German emigration from this area. The passengers are arranged alphabetically, obviating the need for an index. Information found on each emigrant includes full name, occupation, date of departure, and, sometimes, a specific destination in America. In a few cases we learn the name of a passenger's spouse, parent(s), or sibling, and the number of accompanying family members.
The Source
Genealogists and other historical researchers have valued the first two editions of this work, often referred to as the genealogist's bible."" The new edition continues that tradition. Intended as a handbook and a guide to selecting, locating, and using appropriate primary and secondary resources, The Source also functions as an instructional tool for novice genealogists and a refresher course for experienced researchers. More than 30 experts in this field--genealogists, historians, librarians, and archivists--prepared the 20 signed chapters, which are well written, easy to read, and include many helpful hints for getting the most out of whatever information is acquired. Each chapter ends with an extensive bibliography and is further enriched by tables, black-and-white illustrations, and examples of documents. Eight appendixes include the expected contact information for groups and institutions that persons studying genealogy and history need to find. ""
