GENEALOGICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL RESEARCH: A SELECT CATALOG By United States

Description: National Archives Trust Fund Board, National Archives and Records Administration, Washington, DC, 1983, 1991, Softcover, 77 pages. The cover illustration is from Record Group 121, Records of the Public Building Service (Box 1, File 32-D) This catalog is one in a series that describes National Archives microfilm publications related to specific subjects of high research interest. Each catalog is compiled through an extensive review of microfilmed records to locate relevant publications. The catalogs contain descriptions of the records and roll-by-roll listings for each publication. IntroductionThis catalog lists records published on microfilm by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) that are useful for genealogical and biographical research. Extensive searches were made of available microfilm publications to select those that contain the most valuable information about individuals. The records described here include such standard genealogical records as Revolutionary War pensions and bounty land warrants. Most of this catalog, however, details less well-known sources, such as land records, civilian government employee’s records, and amnesties and pardons. Other microfilm records commonly used for genealogical research are described in the companion catalogs, Military Service Records and Immigrant and Passenger Arrivals, and the catalogs to the 1790-1890, 1900, and 1910 censuses. The publications described in this catalog are arranged by topic. For each publication, a brief description of the records and the type of information they con-tain is provided. The contents of each roll of film are listed; however, where the publication titles are self-explanatory and the publication consists of a single roll, the description and roll listing may have been omitted. For a few microfilm publications containing many rolls, only those rolls identified as containing information of a biographical or genealogical nature are listed.
