  This volume contains Record of Marriages, Register of Members, Record of Deaths, and Register of Baptisms. The birth date and parentage is usually given in the baptismal record. Mr. Coleman is an attorney at Goshen, whose training, experience and knowledge of local history fit him for this work. In these records we find along with Dutch names such as Van Duser, Connecticut names represented by Case and Coleman, Westchester County names represented by Conklin and Vail, Long Island names represented by Mapes and Reeves, together with many Scotch and Scotch-Irish names. In Orange County, New York, the overflow of population from Connecticut often stopped for a generation, then spread to southern New York, Northern Pennsylvania and Ohio. This is a valuable addition to our source material of New York families and should be included in every genealogical library.

Census Returns of Doddridge, Ritchie and Gilmer Counties, (West) Virginia for 1850, and Calhoun County, (West) Virginia for 1860. Compiled by W. Guy Tetrick, Clarksburg, W. Va. 1933. 340 pages and Index.

  This is a companion volume to Census Returns of Harrison County, (West) Virginia, mentioned In this publication, Volume X, page 27 (April 1932). The name of every man, woman and child, with age and place of birth is given. In the 1860 Census, the state and county are given under place of birth. A few random surnames, represented by ten or more heads of families are Allen, Bee, Bush, Cain, Collins, Cox, Cunningham, Dotson, Goff, Hall, Lowther, Nutter, Richards, Riddel, Starcher, Stout and Stump. For genealogists the Census of 1850 is one of the most important documents in existence. Every genealogical library should be supplied with these books. Those whose family lines pass through the counties mentioned can better afford to buy one of these books than to employ some one to search the records in Washington.
