The information presented in this four volume series is taken from Marriage License Affidavits currently housed at the Sonoma County History and Genealogy Library in Santa Rosa, California. Affidavits are the application for a marriage license and may well include persons who never actually married. The date may or may not coincide with the actual marriage date of those who did, in fact, get married. Volume I covers A through F; Volume II covers G through M; Volume III covers N through Z; and Volume IV is an index to brides' surnames. Entries in the first three volumes are listed alphabetically according to surname of the groom. The original data is preserved on eight reels of microfilm and contains approximately 14,000 records. In many cases, the condition of the microfilm is exceedingly poor, and the handwritten entries vary from readable to totally unreadable. Many parental consent forms were handwritten notes. Two, and sometimes three, persons reviewed each record to ensure the best possible abstraction of information. Volume IV lists the surname and given name of the bride; and the surname and given name of the groom. Entries are listed alphabetically according to surname of the bride, so if you only know the name of the bride, you can find the name of the groom in this volume.

The Northern Standard, later renamed The Clarksville Standard, was a weekly newspaper first published in 1842 by Charles DeMorse in Clarksville, a small town in the northeastern corner of the Republic of Texas. The paper grew to become the second largest in circulation in Texas and DeMorse was hailed as the Father of Texas Journalism. DeMorse, a fervent Democrat, also earned the title: The Father of the Democratic Press in Texas. In 1858 and 1859, Red River County had a population of almost 6,000; crops flourished: corn, cotton, wheat and fruits; steam mills produced lumber and flour. Life was good. The abstracts recorded herein tell the story of how the settlers schooled their children, raised their crops, and made their living; along with accounts of immigration, Indian troubles on the ever-advancing frontier, financial crises and religious revivals. However tranquil Texas seemed during these years, there was an under current concerning slavery and the approaching Civil War. Both the genealogist and the student of Texas history will prize this work. For the genealogist, there is a wealth of names. For historians, this volume offers a taste of the people, events and attitudes in motion which were to shape Texas and the United States. An every name index enhances the text.

In 1776, Monongalia County, (West) Virginia, was formed from a portion of the western part of Augusta County, Virginia, and in 1779 and 1780 small portions of West Augusta were annexed to Monongalia County. This series contains abstracts of the only surviving court records for the early years of Monongalia County derived from the district court which served Monongalia, Harrison, Randolph, and Ohio Counties, and the surrounding counties. The court records presented in this volume involve ground rent, Revolutionary War pensions, an epidemic of dysentery, selling whiskey without a license, census results, wolf allowance (1823), a "Casually Lost Slave," a list of Free Negroes, disturbing a religious meeting, murder, and other matters of the courts. Papers from other courts appear at times, usually having to do with actions concerning area citizens. Each name of a person, place or thing has been presented here as it has been deciphered, with no attempt to modernize or regulate spelling.
