Genealogies in the Library of Congress
This ten-year supplement lists 10,000 titles acquired by the Library of Congress since 1976--this extraordinary number reflecting the phenomenal growth of interest in genealogy since the publication of Roots. An index of secondary names contains about 8,500 entries, and a geographical index lists family locations when mentioned.
The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Retirement Series, Volume 7
The 526 documents printed in this volume run from 28 November 1813 to 30 September 1814. During this period Jefferson reviews the extant sources on the 1765 Stamp Act crisis to aid William Wirt, a Patrick Henry scholar; records his largely positive impressions of George Washington; and updates a reading list for law students that he had initially drawn up forty years earlier. In the spring of 1814 Jefferson becomes a trustee of the Albemarle Academy, the earliest direct ancestor of the University of Virginia.

American Mosaic
This book covers the history of multiple families whose only overarching connection is that they were all the ancestors of Robert Hilton Squires II, my brother-in-law.

Our Dennison/Stroud Family
Family history and genealogical information about the ancestors and descendants of Walter Scott Dennison and Hettie Florence Stroud. Walter was born 10 September 1863 and grew up in Una, Tennessee. He was a descendant of Benjamin Dennison (born ca. 1755) of Pittsylvania Co., Virginia and Drucilla (surname unknown). Hettie was born 20 February 1866 and grew up in Petway, Cheatham Co., Tennessee. She was a descendant of Willis Stroud (born ca. 1770) of Mecklenburg Co., Virginia and Margaret Allen. Walter Scott Dennison and Hettie Florence Stroud were married 26 December 1889 in Una, Tennessee. They were the parents of five children. Descendants lived in Tennessee, Virginia and elsewhere.
Pleasants and Allied Families
John Pleasants (1644/1645-1698), a Quaker convert, immigrated from England to Henrico County, Virginia during or before 1670. George Pleasant (d.1697) immigrated from England to York County, Virginia during or before 1669. There is no evidence of direct family relationship between the two. Descendants lived in most of the United States.
The Kentucky Encyclopedia
The Kentucky Encyclopedia's 2,000-plus entries are the work of more than five hundred writers. Their subjects reflect all areas of the commonwealth and span the time from prehistoric settlement to today's headlines, recording Kentuckians' achievements in art, architecture, business, education, politics, religion, science, and sports. Biographical sketches portray all of Kentucky's governors and U.S. senators, as well as note congressmen and state and local politicians. Kentucky's impact on the national scene is registered in the lives of such figures as Carry Nation, Henry Clay, Louis Brandeis, and Alben Barkley. The commonwealth's high range from writers Harriette Arnow and Jesse Stuart, re...
