Book Description
This fabulous work is a county-by-county guide to the genealogical records and resources at the Tennessee State Library and Archives in Nashville. Based largely on the Tennessee county records microfilmed by the LDS Genealogical Library, it is an inventory of extant county records and their dates of coverage. For each county the following data is given: formation, county seat, names and addresses of libraries and genealogical societies, published records (alphabetical by author), W.P.A. typescript records, microfilmed records (LDS), manuscripts, and church records. The LDS microfilm covers almost every record that could be used by the genealogist, from vital records to optometry registers, from wills and inventories to school board minutes. There also is a comprehensive list of statewide reference works.

Book Description
Arranged alphabetically, this work lists the names and counties of residence of approximately 18,000 Texas taxpayers. (A "poll" tax of one dollar was levied on every white male resident over the age of twenty-one and on women who were heads of household.) By 1846, when Texas became the thirty-sixth state in the Union, there were sixty-seven county governments already organized as functioning units of the state, yet no authorized census of the state was undertaken until 1850. This 1846 poll list, compiled from the original tax rolls housed in the Texas State Archives, is actually the nearest thing we have to a complete census of the period.

Book Description
Many persons believe that birth records in Texas were not kept until 1903. However, the Texas Constitution Convention of 1869 called for the registration of births, deaths, marriages in every organized county and such was set up by legislative action in 1873 and repeled in 1876. A few counties continued to keep birth records of which the number was 43 counties. Of these, 25 counties had their original books. Often when registering a child born during the years 1873-1878, the parents would list all of their previous children, hence there are many quite early dates, as early as 1838. Counties for which birth records are found in this volume are: Anderson, Austin, Bandera, Bastrop, Bell, Bexar, Brazos, Burnett, Caldwell, Cameron, Cass, Cherokee, Colorado, Comal, Comanche, Dallas, DeWitt, Fannin, Fayette, Gillispie, Gregg, Grimes, Hays, Kaufman, Kendall, Lamar, Lavaca, Lee, Marion, Medina, Menard, Nacogdoches, Navarro, Nueces, Rusk, San Saba, Somerville, Travis, Upshur, Victoria, Washington, and Webb.
