THE NEBRASKA AND MIDWEST

 
BOOK REVIEWS
  Index to the Will Books and Intestate Records of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, 1729-1850. Compiled and published by Eleanore Jane Fulton and Barbara Kendig Mylin, 1936, Lancaster, Penna., 145 pages. Price, $2.00.

  Genealogically Lancaster County is one of the most important counties in Pennsylvania. This publication contains the index of 110 pages In double column followed by a complete bibliography of Lancaster County containing 26 pages. There is also an historical introduction of 9 pages. More than 100 surnames are found with 20 or more probate records each, the following surnames having 150 or more records; Baer (Bare, Bear), Brenneman, Brown, Brubacher (Brubaker), Carpenter, Eshleman, Evans, Good, Graff, Groff, Herr, Hershey, Hess, Hoffman, Huber (Hoover), Kauffman, Kendig, Long, Meyer (Myer), Miller, Moore, Shenck (Shenk), Smith, Weaver, Wilson and Witmer. This book Is fundamental in the study of Lancaster County families.

  Marriage Records of Callaway County, Missouri, 1821-1871. Compiled and published by Adah R. Ferguson (Mrs. Arthur D.), genealogist, 1936, Fulton, Mo. Mimeographed, 115 pages + index of women 22 pages + preface 3 pages. Price, $3.00.

  Callaway County is in the eastern part of the state, bordering the Missouri River on the north, the first settlement being made at Cote San Dessein before 1800. For fifty years the Missouri River was the greatest highway of travel west of the Mississippi. Great numbers of families from the Ohio Valley and farther southeast, seeking homes in the West, stopped in the river counties of Missouri from 5 to 20 years. This is a splendid contribution to the documents of family history, and we hope that the number of such volumes may be speedily increased, especially from counties lying along the highways of migration.
