An index to the card file of a pre-eminent professional genealogist, Leon S. Hollingsworth (1896-1974). Mr. Hollingsworth's research for clients from all over the country led him to such repositories and libraries as the Library of Congress and the National Archives, as well as to the state archives of Maryland, Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, and Alabama. In the process of this research, over a period of some thirty years, he produced a voluminous card file of information on individuals from throughout the Southeast. The card file is presented on microfilm and consists of over 45,000 cards on which are recorded names of many thousands of persons, together with genealogical data gleaned from a multitude of original sources--wills, administrations, deeds, marriage records, Bible records and numerous other kinds of materials.--From Introduction, p.
