The Bob and Rita Southern Family History Collection

This extensive collection of more than two hundred titles includes many works centering on the family histories of the early period of American southern history—with great emphasis on Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky.  This body of work includes birth, marriage and death records, vestry books, county histories, court records, military histories, Revolutionary War records, Hening’s Statutes at Large and much more.  Many of these manuscripts uncover the early Scots-Irish origins of the southern states. 

 This collection is available for lookups.  Browse our list of titles and choose which books you would like our staff to search.
