=== This Month's Special - 20% off ======================

S.V. Talcott, compiler, GENEALOGICAL NOTES OF NEW YORK AND NEW ENGLAND FAMILIES, (1883) 2008.
$19.96 (Orig $24.95) http://www.ArchiveCDBooksUSA.com/find_acdb.mvc?refid=NEWS&p=US0363
Talcott has compiled extensive accounts of twenty-eight New York families and twenty-four New England families, tracing multiple lines of descent for each family from colonial times into the late nineteenth century, based on a wide range of sources, including especially Bible and death records.
The family accounts are presented in standard genealogical form, with abstracts of wills for many of the early generations and substantial biographical data for the eighteenth and nineteenth centruy individuals. Those family members who served in the military are especially well documented.
Most of the New York families covered in this volume are of Dutch descent, with heavy emphasis on settlers of Albany and vicinity. Many of the New England families included here were residents of the Connecticut River Valley towns of Connecticut.
The New York section is followed by a collection of transcripts of several dozen Bible records and a book of records of burials in Albany from 1722 to 1757. The volume concludes with separate every-name indexes for the New York and the New England sections.
=== We're Moving! ===================================
Effective this month, the mailing address for Archive CD Books USA is changing. Like many other people around the world, our development and support staff has been increasingly taking advantage of technology which allows them to effectively "telecommute" (i.e., work from home by computer). As a result, our office space requirements are greatly reduced so we're moving a few centralized functions (accounting and shipping) into the smaller space that we previously occupied about a mile down the road. The new address is shown at the end of this newsletter.
Aside from some possible temporary disruptions to shipping over the next two weeks, we do not expect this change to have any noticeable effect on you. Our web site, support telephone, fax number, and business hours remain unchanged.
=== New Data CDs from the U.S. ========================
The following data CDs from the United States are now available from ArchiveCDBooksUSA.com:
Seth C. Cary, JOHN CARY, THE PLYMOUTH PILGRIM, (1911) 2009.
$9.95 http://www.ArchiveCDBooksUSA.com/find_acdb.mvc?refid=NEWS&p=US0620
Seth Cary has compiled a genealogy of the family and descendants of John Carey, who had settled in Duxbury, Massachusetts, by 1637. The author made an effort to follow female as well as male lines. In the early generations, this generally extended to the children and sometimes grandchildren of a Cary daughter. In the later generations, and especially in the accounts of those living in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, this coverage was quite extensive. (more...)

"London in 1731: Containing a Description of the City of London, both in Regard to its Extent, Buildings, Government, Trade, etc.", is a curious publication and was first brought to press in 1745 as part of the 'Harleian Collection', consisting of two volumes entitled 'Voyage to Great Britain, Containing an Account of England and Scotland' and 'A Collection of Voyages & Travels, compiled from the Library of the Earl of Oxford'. London in 1731 supposedly written by one Don Manoel Gonzales, a literary pseudonym, which has engaged some considerable investigation, with some pointing to Daniel Defoe as the publication's original author. (more...)
THE BRISTOL POLL BOOK, 1837.
$18.95 http://www.ArchiveCDBooksUSA.com/find_acdb.mvc?refid=NEWS&p=IE5024

$17.95 http://www.ArchiveCDBooksUSA.com/find_acdb.mvc?refid=NEWS&p=IE5025
The Registers of the Parish Church of Cartmel in the County of Lancaster. Christenings, Burials & Weddings, 1559-1661, was published by the Lancashire Register Society from transcriptions taken by Henry Brierley in 1907. According to the extremely perfunctory introduction the St. Mary's Priory Church, Cartmel, was the most interesting and beautiful in Lancaster, a photograph of the St. Mary's does nothing to contradict this. (more...)
KELLY'S DIRECTORY OF GLOUCESTERSHIRE 1894.
$23.95 http://www.ArchiveCDBooksUSA.com/find_acdb.mvc?refid=NEWS&p=IE5026

=== New Data CDs from Ireland ==========================
The following data CDs from Ireland are now available from ArchiveCDBooksUSA.com:
REPORT OF THE LABOUR COMMISSION TO IRELAND 1921.
$17.95 http://www.ArchiveCDBooksUSA.com/find_acdb.mvc?refid=NEWS&p=IE0052
Published in 1921 by the English Parliamentary Labour Party, the Report of the Labour Commission to Ireland, although a relatively brief publication of just 124 pages, is a thoroughly fascinating, if sometimes a little biased, account of the War of Independence in Ireland, especially the conduct of the British Army and Auxiliary Forces. (more...)
THE AMERICAN COMMISSION ON CONDITIONS IN IRELAND, EVIDENCE ON CONDITIONS IN IRELAND.
$23.95 http://www.ArchiveCDBooksUSA.com/find_acdb.mvc?refid=NEWS&p=IE0053
This publication is a collection of the evidences used in "The Interim Report for the American Commission on Conditions in Ireland" 1921, and contains the oral and written testimonies from witnesses in Ireland dating from the end of 1920 and beginning of 1921. The evidence collected by Commission was eventually presented to its parent body, the American Committee of 150 on Ireland, which was published under the title Evidence on Conditions in Ireland. (more...)
REPORT BY THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON PAWN BROOKING IN IRELAND, TOGETHER WITH MINUTES OF EVIDENCE, AN APPENDIX AND AN INDEX, 1838.
$11.95 http://www.ArchiveCDBooksUSA.com/find_acdb.mvc?refid=NEWS&p=IE0054
Republished here is the Report by the Select Committee on Pawnbroking in Ireland; Together with the Minutes of Evidence, Appendix and Index, which was first published in Dublin by Alexander Thom in 1838. The inquiry into pawnbroking in Ireland came out of concerns being aired in the national press that pawnbrokers in general were charging extortionate and illegal rates of interest for monies lent by them on amounts of two shillings and less and this had brought the entire trade into disrepute. However, it was also acknowledged that the pawnbrokers of Ireland, especially those in Dublin, were also being extorted by the very body that was supposedly set-up to regulate and protect their interests: the Marshal of Dublin. (more...)
HENRY JONES FORD, THE SCOTCH IRISH IN AMERICA, 1915.
$23.95 http://www.ArchiveCDBooksUSA.com/find_acdb.mvc?refid=NEWS&p=IE0056
The Scotch-Irish in America was first published by Princeton University Press in 1915 and was written by Henry Jones Ford, Professor of Politics at the University. Containing some 607 printed pages Ford's history of the Scots-Irish, although almost a century old, is still seen by many as the seminal introduction both to the plantation of Ulster and the exodus of the Scots-Irish from Ulster to America.
JOHN REVANS, THE EVILS OF THE STATE OF IRELAND; THEIR CAUSES AND THEIR REMEDY - A POOR LAW, 1837.
$15.49 http://www.ArchiveCDBooksUSA.com/find_acdb.mvc?refid=NEWS&p=IE0057
Published in London in 1837 by J. Hatchard & Son, John Revans' Evils of the State of Ireland; their Causes and Remedy - A Poor Law, a publication that witnesses a second edition, before the eventual passing of the 1838 Poor Law Act and its implementation in Ireland. Containing some 153 printed pages and republished here on fully-searchable CD-Rom, Evils of the State of Ireland represented one of the more benign paths of social policy that could have been adopted by the British Government and implemented in Ireland. (more...)
