Today we’ve updated our database: Vermont Genealogy, adding Volume 22 from 2017. This database is available thanks to our partnership with the Genealogical Society of Vermont. This update adds 224 pages and 5,003 names. The index for this database includes full names, the publication year (not the year of the records), and article titles and authors.
Vermont Genealogy made its debut as a quarterly journal in January 1996. In addition to featuring compiled genealogies, the journal often contains other material including: freeman’s lists, church memberships and dismissals, newspaper vital record abstracts, probate abstracts, cemetery transcriptions, Bible records, Civil War journals, 1890 Census reconstructions, book reviews, and “Seen Elsewhere,” a bibliography of other journal articles relevant to Vermont.
In 2009, Vermont Genealogy switched to semi-annual publication with spring and fall issues. Appointed editor in 2016, Michael F. Dwyer, FASG, has expanded the scope of coverage to include nineteenth-century century immigrant studies, “Gems from the Vermont State Archives,” and continuation of family sketches from “Vermont Families in 1791.”
This update is made possible by the efforts of our volunteer Sam Sturgis. If you are interest in joining our team of volunteers, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Zobeida, at zobeida.chaffee-valdes@americanancestors.org.
