* North American Wills Registered in London, 1611-1857
(Book - Genealogical.com) :
In England, until 1858, the Prerogative Court of
Canterbury (PCC) had jurisdiction over all wills
submitted for probate on behalf of English citizens who
were temporary or permanent inhabitants of North America.
Altogether there are over 2,000 such wills among the one
million wills registered in the PCC, and their existence
has ensured that all persons mentioned in the wills have
not only found a permanent place in historical records
but have a provable link to English ancestry.

* Cemeteries of Sonoma County, California: A History and Guide
(Book - Amazon.com) :
The primary purpose of this book is to tell the story of
the cemeteries in Sonoma County, California, and to
enable genealogists, historians, and other researchers
to locate those cemeteries. This information was
compiled from library references, interviews with local
residents, and most importantly, from a personal visit
to each cemetery. Visiting each cemetery confirmed its
actual location and existence, and gave the author an
opportunity to talk to local residents about its history.
Tombstone inscriptions, where provided, are verbatim
copies. All cemeteries in any published list of Sonoma
County cemeteries are addressed in this book. About half
of the cemeteries are given full write-ups, with history,
description, references, a map and directions. There is
a section on Native American burial grounds, legal
aspects of cemeteries, nonexistent cemeteries, a
glossary, bibliography, and fullname index of people
mentioned in each cemetery write-up. This book is a
history and guide to the cemeteries of Sonoma County,
California, not an index of burials in those cemeteries.

Mountain Press, 1999 Perfect Bound. As New/No Jacket.

House of Representatives giving their names, reason for
exclusion and those Union citizens who vouched for them.
About 30,000 names in the index.
