Legacy QuickGuides^TM have quickly become one of the more popular resources for genealogists. Each guide contains four (sometimes five, sometimes more) pages of valuable information covering a variety of genealogy research topics, dozens of clickable links, and are written by genealogists and family historians who are experts in the subject areas. We've added two brand new Legacy QuickGuides: U.S. Federal Non-population Census Records by Deena Coutant and Researching Child Migrants and British Home Children by Kathryn Lake Hogan.

U.S. Federal Non-population Census Records by Deena Coutant

The U.S. government took special censuses, commonly referred to as “non-population” schedules, to count unique segments of the population or create snapshots of communities. Although lesser known and under used, these schedules are full of genealogically significant information, and should be utilized for the years and places where available. Not all special census records survived, and many aren’t yet available online—researching them can be challenging, but they are worth the effort.

The U.S. Federal Non-population Census Records Legacy QuickGuide™ contains useful information including the different types of non-population schedules, access points for these records, and strategies for using each group of records. Also included are links to websites and resources covering agricultural schedules, mortality schedules, manufacturing schedules, “DDD” schedules and more. This handy 8-page PDF guide can be used on your computer or mobile device for anytime access.

Researching Child Migrants and British Home Children by Kathryn Lake Hogan

Between 1832 and 1970, some 118,000 orphaned and/or poor British children were emigrated from Britain to Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and South Africa under Child Emigration schemes.

The Researching Child Migrants and British Home Children Legacy QuickGuide™ contains useful information and resources to help you learn more about child migrants and British home children in Canada and Australia. Includes research strategies and contact information for several groups and societies in the UK, Canada and Australia. This handy 4-page PDF guide can be used on your computer or mobile device for anytime access.

Texas Genealogy by Deena Coutant

Texas holds a unique place in the history of North America and provides many opportunities to research the records of her settlers and citizens. Six flags have flown over Texas territory during the 1500s-2000s, including Spain, France, Mexico, Republic of Texas, Confederate States, and the United States. With Texas being the largest of the contiguous United States, many different cultures have shaped her rich history.

Looking for those elusive Lone Star State ancestors? The Texas Genealogy Legacy QuickGuide™ contains useful information including a timeline of Texas history events, tips on Texas research strategy, outline of major immigrant groups, and more. Also included are links to websites and resources covering vital records, church records, census records, as well as general Texas resources. This Texas-sized 12-page PDF guide can be used on your computer or mobile device for anytime access.
