American Genealogical-Biographical Index (AGBI) Called one of the most important genealogical collections and the equivalent of over 200 printed volumes, the American Genealogical-Biographical Index, or AGBI, is now available here at Ancestry.com. This database contains millions of records for persons whose names have appeared in printed genealogical records and family histories. Collecting data from sources largely from the last century, each entry contains the person's complete name, year of publication, state of birth (if known), abbreviated biographical data, and the book and page number of the original reference. In addition to family histories, other genealogical collections are indexed. These include the Boston Transcript (a genealogical column widely circulated), the complete 1790 Federal Census, and published Revolutionary War records. For researchers of American ancestors, this can be among the most valuable databases available at Ancestry. com. Bibliography: Godfrey Memorial Library. "American Genealogical-Biographical Index."
