The wills, probate and settlement records of Bedford County sufferd severe losses in the courthouse fire that occurred in the late fall of 1863. With the exception of about six wills that were registered and recorded in the early 1860's all wills were destroyed in the fire. All wills recorded after the Civil War are intact and abstracts of them, up to 1910, are reproduced in this publication. In addition, we have stepped back in time and included all probate records from the Marsh's private collection that they have gleaned from the Chancery Court Records, Deed Books, and the earliest County Court Minutes that survived the fire, spanning the years 1848 to 1860. The Chancery Court Records are of special interest and value as they were reconstructed as the product of the Chancery Court action. They often approach the originals in detail and substance. The second section of this book, entitled: "Vital Records from Newspapers" represents a valuable companion to the first section, placing in the hands of the researcher a broad and useful tool to be used in the research of Bedford County family history. Hundreds of Bedford County marriages, deaths, and events of local interest were abstracted from all available area newspapers and included in this section.
This fabulous work is a county-by-county guide to the genealogical records and resources at the Tennessee State Library and Archives in Nashville. Based largely on the Tennessee county records microfilmed by the LDS Genealogical Library, it is an inventory of extant county records and their dates of coverage. For each county the following data is given: formation, county seat, names and addresses of libraries and genealogical societies, published records (alphabetical by author), W.P.A. typescript records, microfilmed records (LDS), manuscripts, and church records. The LDS microfilm covers almost every record that could be used by the genealogist, from vital records to optometry registers, from wills and inventories to school board minutes. There also is a comprehensive list of statewide reference works.
Genealogists can sometimes require obscure resources when in search of information about ancestors. Tracking down records to complete a family tree can become laborious when the researcher doesn't know where to begin looking. Many of the best resources are maintained regionally or even locally, and aren’t widely known. This reference work serves as a guide to both beginning and experienced genealogy researchers. The sourcebook is easily accessible and usable, featuring approximately 270 entries on all aspects of genealogical research and family history compilation. The entries are listed alphabetically and cross-referenced so any researcher can quickly find the information he or she is seeking. Each state and each of the provinces of Canada has its own entry; other countries are listed under appropriate headings. The author also provides more than 700 addresses from all over the world so that the genealogist or general researcher may contact any one of these organizations to obtain specific information about particular births, deaths, marriages, or other life events in order to complete a family tree.
