Sorry for all the reading but, does anyone have access to one or more of these books? Thanks for reading, Tom. 4850. (CENSUS). STATE CENSUS OF NORTH CAROLINA, 1784-1787. By Alvaretta K. Register. 2nd ed. 233 pp., indexed. (1971), repr. Balto., 1993. $20.00 Compiled from original records in the North Carolina Department of Archives and History, this work lists 14,000 heads of households and provides an enumeration of individuals in each household by age, sex, and race. In addition, individuals named are listed under a reference to the original census page, thus furnishing the researcher with a key to the manuscript records. Based on a special state enumeration, this 1784-87 census names many individuals who had left North Carolina by the time of the first federal census of 1790. 1025.

LUTHERAN Baptisms and Marriages, Early, In Southeastern Pennsylvania. By John C. Stoever. 107 pp., indexed. (1896), repr. Balto., 1988. Temporarily out of print. John Casper Stoever, one of the first clergymen to serve early Pennsylvania- German settlers, had a ministry in southeastern Pennsylvania for fifty years. He kept a record of the baptisms and marriages he performed in his missionary travels, and these were done from 1730 to 1779. These records were translated into English and published in book form in 1896, but that edition, unlike this, had no index. This book has two sections, one of baptismal records and the other of marriage records, both arranged chronologically. Typically the baptisms give the location, the child's name, the parents' names (usually the father), the dates of birth and baptism, and the names of the sponsors. The marriage records give the names of the newly-weds, the marriage date, and the town or county of residence. There are at least 6,000 persons mentioned in this work. 1835. PENNSYLVANIA BIRTHS, 1675-1875, Early. By Charles A. Fisher. 107 pp., wrappers. (1947), repr. Balto., 1996. $9.00 Although the actual coverage of this magnificent collection of birth records is confined principally to the counties of Berks, Northumberland, Snyder, and Union, it does, in instancing several thousand births from eastern and southeastern Pennsylvania and the middle and southern sections of the Susquehanna Valley, encompass a significant portion of the state of Pennsylvania. The text is arranged alphabetically in each of the several sections by the surname of the principal subject. As a general rule data given include the name of the child, date of the birth or baptism, names of the parents, and names of sponsors (often relatives). By any conservative estimate at least 10,000 persons are mentioned in the text. 4564. PENNSYLVANIA GERMAN Church Records, Births, Baptisms, Marriages, Burials, Etc. With an Intro. by Don Yoder. 3 vols. 2,371 pp., illus., indexed. Balto., 1983. The set: $135.00 Per vol.: $45.00 Here in three volumes the genealogist has access to all of the church records ever published in the Proceedings and Addresses of the Pennsylvania German Society. These records are indispensable to anyone interested in Pennsylvania- German origins, but until now they have been almost impossible to locate as few libraries have a complete file of this scarce serial publication. From the beginning the Society showed an interest in publishing the earliest-known records of the German Reformed and Evangelical Lutheran Church in Pennsylvania. With Vol. III (1893) it began the task of putting such records into print. Church records were deemed then to be the backbone of Pennsylvania-German genealogy, and nothing has happened to change that idea. Before the Society wound up its project, it had succeeded in publishing the records of a great many key churches in southeastern Pennsylvania--Lancaster, York, Lehigh, Montgomery, and Northampton--the heartland of Pennsylvania- German country. In these three volumes are births, baptisms, marriages and burials, the records that identify people and their relationships to one another--not only parents and children, husbands and wives, but witnesses and sponsors as well. A staggering 125,000 persons are mentioned in these records, and every one of them is cited in the new indexes, which have been painstakingly compiled especially for this publication. The records themselves answer the usual who, where and when questions, but because of their magnitude, because of the vast number of people who figure in these records, they must now be accounted, in the aggregate, as the very basis of Pennsylvania-German genealogy.
