It has been awhile since I have reviewed one of William Dollarhide’s name lists books. However, with the recent release of a number of additional volumes it is time to look again at these great books. There are now 14 volumes in the series. In this review we detail the contents of Florida Name Lists 1759-2009, with a selection of National Name Lists, 1600s – Present. Currently, there are nine new names lists books, and we are providing details on each.
In this book, names lists are detailed in the following database categories:
- State Census Records
- State and County Court Records
- Directories
- State Militia Lists
- State Veterans & Pensioners Lists
- Tax Lists
- Vital Records
- Voter Lists
Here are some interesting notes taken from the databases descriptions in the book:
– Town, City, or County Directories date back to the early 1800s
– “Unlike tax lists, voter lists were almost exclusively for males over 21 years of age, until the advent of Women’s Suffrage”
The contents of the District of Columbia section of the guide include:
- 1920 Map of Florida
- Florida Name Lists, 1759-2009
- Historical Timeline for Florida, 1513-1971
- Map: 1810 West Florida Annexation
- Introduction to Florida’s Colonial, Territorial & Statewide Name Lists
- Florida Memory
- Genealogical Collection at the State Archives of Florida
- Bibliography of Florida Name Lists, 1759-2009
Not only does this volume give a detailed bibliography of Name Lists available for the state, but links to websites, FHL book & microfilm numbers, archive references, maps, and key historical information make this volume invaluable to the researcher looking to extend their lines and fill in the family tree.
