DOWNLOAD EBOOKByrne, Chaffey, Fahey, Fizzard, Fudge, Grouchy, Hynes, Inkpen, Lyver, McLaughlin, Miles, Murphy, Puddester, Quirk -- the names themselves are evocative of Newfoundland. Family Names of the Island of Newfoundland traces the origins of almost 3,000 surnames found on the Island and provides an engaging and comprehensive collection of etymology, genealogy, and Newfoundland history. The introduction presents a fascinating discussion of the history and linguistic origins of surnames found in Newfoundland, which come from many different cultures, notably English, Welsh, Irish, Scottish, French, Syrian, Lebanese, and Mi'kmaq. The main body of the book comprises a dictionary of surnames in the province based on data collected from provincial voting lists, family records, government documents, and newspaper reports dating back to the seventeenth century. Each entry includes variant spellings and cross-references of the surname, the countries in which the name originated, and its meaning. Newfoundland place names associated with the surname are also given. The book also includes a ranking of the most common surnames in Newfoundland and a comparative analysis of the frequency of surnames in Scotland, Ireland, England, and Newfoundland. Originally published in 1977, Family Names of the Island of Newfoundland is a unique reference work, giving Newfoundlanders, both in the province and away, a fascinating look at their roots. This edition incorporates a number of additions and corrections and has been completely reset in a sturdier and more convenient format. It will be of great use to individuals tracing their ancestors and to genealogists researching early settlers in Newfoundland.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMoore County, NC has long been a challenging place to do genealogical research, even more so if your family lived in Northern Moore County. Due to the immense loss of records in the 1889 Moore County courthouse fire combined with Northern Moore's large mix of Scotch-Irish, German, Swiss, English and other settlers who often kept to themselves and left very little evidence behind - genealogical and historical research on these families generally leaves researchers with no shortage of dead ends, brick walls and ancestors who disappear into genealogical black holes. With this series, Morgan Jackson (www.MooreCountyWallaces.com) seeks to shine a light on these families and piece together the records that survived the fire and the test of time. Utilizing over thirty years of personal research and a multitude of information from numerous sources, he abstracts rare and hard to find land grants, deeds, church records, school records, wills, estates, tax lists, pension records, family bibles, newspaper accounts and court records. This first volume abstracts thousands of these records in a timeline format from the first 85 years of recorded history beginning in 1746 including several hundred images and hard to find maps. A full name index includes over 5,000 individuals and over 750 place names.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFamily history of Harry Vern Addington (1893-1930), son of Joseph Leander and Dora Elizabeth (Feagans) Addington, who was born in White River Twp., Randolph Co., Indiana. He married Alma Marguerite Chalfant (1905-1979) in 1922. The Addington and Feagans families were of English or Irish origin. Both families were very early settlers in Randolph County. The Addingtons arrived there about 1835 and the Feagans about 1838. The patriarch of this family, Henry Addington, was probably born in London in 1720, and immigrated to North America ca. 1740. He lived in Loudoun Co., Virginia in 1765, and moved his family between 1768 and 1774 to Union Co., South Carolina, where he received a land grant in 1774. Descendants and relatives lived in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, Indiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, Idaho, Utah, Iowa, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Maryland, Colorado, Oregon, California and elsewhere.
