Recent English Origins Published

So far in 2010 English origins have been published on:

Robert Drake of Accomack Co. Virginia (The Genealogist)

Robert Kinsman of Ipswich, Mass. (The American Genealogist, TAG)

Leven Bufkin of Nansemond Co. Virginia (TAG)

Penelope Spencer, Wife of John Treworgy of Kittery, Maine (TAG)

Thomas Riggs of Gloucester, Mass. (New England Historical & Genealogical Register, NEHGR)

Edward Riggs of Roxbury, Mass. (NEHGR)

William Whitredge of Ipswich, Mass. (NEHGR)

Joanna (Hooker) (Gay) Borden, wife of John Borden of R.I. (NEHGR)

Edward Breck of Dorchester, Mass. (NEHGR)

I'm sure that effects the research of hundreds of thousands of Americans.  And that's just what's been published thus far this year.  I encourage people to either subscribe to these journals or find them in your local library.  If not in your library, ask for inter-library loan (which in the case of articles, generally means you'll get a copy of the article.  There will probably be a charge for such a service).

I am at the Allen County Public Library right now, and would just LOVE to read this article on Robert Drake, since I am working on a Drake clan from Maryland. However, the librarian tells me there are well over 100 possible hits on their catalog for "The Genealogist", so, could I have additional publication data, place, publisher? I am sorry, I do not recognize the name, so many publications, so little time and exposure. SIGHH

THANKS!!

I've never had my local public library charge me for articles, and I've requested some pretty obscure ones. Most recently they have been delivered electronically. I'm not meaning to contradict you, I just didn't want anyone to be discouraged at the thought that getting an article entails yet another small cost. 'Taint necessarily so; check with your friendly local reference librarian to be sure.

Thats funny I was doing the same thing. I didnt want people to expect free ILL and be bummed out when there is a charge. Every library is different. However, budget cuts being the wave of the present and future, I expect people to be charged more often than not.

Thanks for listing these.

I keep wondering why the journals don't post their Tables of Contents on the Internet so that a Googler would find it. It's why I post journal and magazine ToCs occasionally. It costs essentially nothing, and might sell a back issue or a subscription.

I'm using your book more and more - will blog about it someday!
