The Genealogists Guide To Printed Pedigrees PDF Download

Excerpt from An Index to Printed Pedigrees, Contained in County and Local Histories, the Heralds' Visitations, and in the More Important Genealogical Collections IN the autumn of 1863 I announced my intention to pub lish a volume on the Bibliography of Heraldry and Genealogy 9 and in the following spring, in Notes and Queries and in the Herald and Genealogist, I promised to add to it an Index to the Pedigrees contained in the County Histories, and other topographical works. Partly in consequence of the extent of the materials I have collected for that work, and partly on account of the produc tion of a hastily prepared compilation of a similar nature to the present Index, I have been compelled to postpone for a time the publication of the bibliographical manual, and to issue my Index as a separate work. In submitting it to the genealogical student, I can only express a hope that the trifling errors which may have escaped notice, in over sixteen thousand references, in duplicate, will not militate against the general adoption of it as a guide to printed genealogies.
