Well worn and frequently check, it was first published in 1964. Guides are always helpful, and this source outlines the various records held in The National Archives felt to be of interest to the genealogist. Thought it might still be helpful to outline these materials as contained in this guide.
The following materials are given in outline form:
I. Population and mortality census schedule...for yrs. 1790 - 1890.
II. Passenger arrival lists...for cities- Baltimore, Boston, Mobile, New Bedford,
New Orleans, New York, and Philadelphia
III. United State military records from Revolutionary War
IV. United States naval and marine records
V. Records of veterans' benefits
VI. Records concerning the Confederate States of America
VII. Land-entry records for the public-land States
VIII.Other records of genealogical value...including Lists relating to Indian removal.
Wow...lots of stuff here. I am sure there must be a more up to date publication. Will next try to list those references involving the JONES surname in the next series of posts.
