The Scottish Covenanter Genealogical Index - (1630-1712) by Isabelle MacLean Pdf

This work evolved out of a love for my ancestors, one being John Whitelaw, the Covenanter Monkland Martyr, who was executed for his religious beliefs in Edinburgh, 1683. While searching for his records I came across reference to thousands of other Scottish Covenanters. This Index lists those Covenanters found in some books written about the period between 1630 and 1712.There are many, many more Covenanters, whose names need to be added to this work, and, God willing, I will do it. The Covenanters were steadfast in their Presbyterian beliefs and refused to take an oath unto the King stating that he was the head of the church. They believed that Christ was the Head of the Church and their loyalty to this belief allowed them to lay their lives down for it. The Royalists and Dragoons, who were seeking to bring them into obedience to the King, relentlessly chased the Covenanters from glen to glen. This disregard for their civil rights was brutally carried out basically in the Lowlands of Scotland. Many of their records were destroyed along with their lives and their stories only live in family lore and books that were written about them. I have extracted some of their names and created The Scottish Covenanter Genealogical Index, which is by no means complete, but is a work in progress.

Maldonado Journey to the Kingdom of New Mexico by Gilbert Maldonado Pdf

Volume VIII is a continuation of the journey of the Maldonado family to the Kingdom of New Mexico. It documents the Maldonado descendants of Juan Lpez de Godoy and Yns Lucero y Gonzlez Jaramillo through their son Maese de Campo (Commanding General) Pedro Lucero de Godoy and his two wives, Petronila de Zamora and Francisca Gmez Robledo, both pioneering New Mexico families. This includes not only their direct line of descent, but also cousins, uncles, aunts, and in-laws. The Maldonado database has more than 5,800 names with many of them represented here. The time period is generally from 1598 through the nineteenth century for most names, though the direct line continues to the present. Pedro Lucero de Godoy is the ancestor of many people living in New Mexico today. In this volume his other descendants can trace their connections to cousins from this extended Maldonado family. Juan Lpez de Godoy and Yns Lucero y Gonzlez Jaramillo are my tenth great-grandparents. Pedro Lucero de Godoy and Petronila de Zamora are my ninth great-grandparents. Petronila de Zamora is also my ninth great-grandaunt because her parents, Bartolom de Montoya and Mara de Zamora, are my double tenth great-grandparents. Don Pedros second wife, doa Francisca Gmez Robledo, whom he married following the death of Petronila de Zamora, is my ninth great-grandmother by virtue of her marriage to Pedro Lucero de Godoy; but, she is also my first cousin ten times removed, the great-granddaughter of my eleventh great-grandparents Pedro Robledo and Catalina Lpez.

Genealogy and Indexing by Kathleen Spaltro Pdf

Indexes are the essential search tool for genealogists, and this timely book fills a conspicuous void in the literature. Kathleen Spaltro and contributors take an in-depth look at the relationship between indexing and genealogy and explain how genealogical indexes are constructed. They offer practical advice to indexers who work with genealogical documents as well as genealogists who want to create their own indexes. Noeline Bridge's chapter on names will quickly become the definitive reference for trying to resolve questions on variants, surname changes, and foreign designations. Other chapters discuss software, form and entry, the need for standards, and the development of after-market indexes.
