Legacy QuickGuidesTM 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: Researching War of 1812 Ancestors by Thomas MacEntee and Massachusetts Genealogy by the Massachusetts Society of Genealogists, Inc.
Researching War of 1812 Ancestors by Thomas MacEntee
The War of 1812, often called America’s Second Revolution, left behind a valuable set of records that have proven valuable for genealogical research. Many of these records like pension files can help solve the “pre-1850 census” issues when only the head of household was named in the US federal census.
The Researching War of 1812 Ancestors Legacy QuickGuide™ contains valuable information so you can understand the history of the War of 1812 and the records created about the veterans who fought in the conflict. You’ll learn how to devise a Veteran Identification Strategy as well as what records exist both online, on microfilm and in print. Records covered include service records, bounty land records, pension files, casualty records, records for African-American and Native American veterans and more.
In addition, this guide contains over 100 links to research resources; some are obscure, hard-to-find and many are free! While the emphasis is on United States-based research, several Canada and British resources are included. This handy 6-page PDF guide can be used on your computer or mobile device for anytime access.
Massachusetts Genealogy by Massachusetts Society of Genealogists, Inc.
A listing of essential Bay State resources compiled by Massachusetts Society of Genealogists, Inc. You’ll find everything you need to get started on finding your Massachusetts ancestors. The Massachusetts Genealogy Legacy QuickGuide™ contains useful information including a timeline of Massachusetts history events, tips on Massachusetts research strategy and more. Also included are over 100 links to websites and resources covering vital records, church records, census records, as well as general Massachusetts resources. This handy 8-page PDF guide can be used on your computer or mobile device for anytime access.
