Book Angels
Help Buy Books For The Library
An angel is a supernatural being or spirit often depicted as benevolent who acts as a guardian spirit or a guiding influence. That’s an apt description of our Book Angels, who donate funds to help us acquire books on our library’s genealogical “wish list.”
These books have been identified by our Book Acquisition Committee, and the prices listed here are up to half off the purchase price. Some books may have already been purchased – but your donation still helps!
Your name is noted in a bookplate inside the front cover of the books you support.

DONATE: Scots-Irish Links, 1525-1825 (Dobson, David) Book Angels ⋅ Irish ⋅ Scots-Irish We have several of David Dobson’s booklets in our collection, but not until this volume do we have a complete collection. This consolidated edition improves upon the original booklets in a number of respects. These contents were originally published in 15 parts as follows: Scots-Irish Links, 1575-1725 (11 parts); Later Scots Irish Links, 1725-1825 (3 parts), and Scots-Irish Links, 1825-1900 (1 part). Staying abreast of announcements of all books in the series has posed a problem for some genealogists. There is now a full-name index to the back of each of these consolidated volumes, – assembling all the information in one convenient place. Finally, this consolidated work represents the single greatest compilation of the participants in the Plantation of Ulster and their descendants.

Genevieve 1779-1783 (Sjostrom , Fernandez de Mesa , Startz) Book Angels ⋅ Military A Compilation of Original Militia Lists from the General Archive of the Indies of Seville, SpainFor anyone looking for their American Revolutionary War patriot in the Midwest region once known as the Spanish Illinois (today’s Missouri and surrounding areas west of the Mississippi River), this is the definitive source. In the American colonies, local militiamen formed the core of every town’s defense. The same was true for the Spanish province of Louisiana where the Crown did not have the financial means to provide enough regular army soldiers to defend such a vast territory. Local militias of Louisiana were therefore the mainstay of the colony’s military force. …
