Hulvey Clan Historical Ties
Many variant spellings of the surname and a lack of early records complicate determination of exact origins for this large family. There were two Conrad Hulveys, the one, of East Mt. Crawford, Virginia, born in 1740; the other of Shenandoah County, Virginia, date of birth unknown. The compiler presents extensive genealogical tables and a large quantity of photographs of the descendants of these two men named Conrad Hulvey.
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 Hottinger and Yankey Families
Michael Honinger was the emigrant ancestor. He arrived in Pennsylvania in 1729. He was the father of Conrad Honinger (d.1804) who married Catherine Kutz. Conrad anglicized the name by changing it to Hottinger. Early in their marriage Conrad and Catherine moved to Rockingham County where they were the parents of nine children. One of their sons married Elizabeth Yankey while a daughter, Magdaline, married Michael Yankey. The Yankey family descends from a Michael Jenghe I (1690-?) who traveled from Berlin, Germany and settled in Virginia. His only known son, Michael Yankie II settled in Shenandoah County where he was the father of five children, one of whom was Michael Yankey (1775-1830) who married Magdaline Hottinger. Michael and Magdaline moved to Brocks Gap about 1800. Descendants live in Virginia and West Virginia.
Virginia Genealogies and Family Histories
Lists about 2500 books found in major libraries throughout the U. S. containing genealogies of families from Virginia and West Virginia. The books listed deal with families of Virginia origins but often follow their descendants far and wide across the continent. Each book is listed under the surname of the primary Virginia family covered in it. Many of the titles listed deal with several families, not all of which may have Virginia roots. Citations to all these allied families are listed in a cross-reference table, regardless of the geographic focus of the family, making this bibliography of use to researchers with interests outside Virginia also.
