This CD offers unprecedented advantages and
savings to anyone undertaking research in central
Pennsylvania. Comprising a total of twelve
volumes, Egle’s celebrated Notes and Queries is the
most important multi-volume work on the genealogy,
biography, and history of central Pennsylvania
ever published. Included in its nearly 5,000 pages
are a vast number of genealogies, family sketches,
and biographies, as well as extensive lists of early
settlers and soldiers of the various wars, including
the French and Indian War, the Revolutionary War,
and the War of 1812. In addition, the work encompasses
an impressive array of genealogical source
records—early wills, church records, marriage and
death records, tax lists, and lists of early immigrants
and frontiersmen.
For fast and easy access, all names mentioned in
the twelve volumes of Egle’s Notes and Queries are
available on this CD via a single, electronic index,
which is based on the renowned two-volume index
prepared by the Decatur [Illinois] Genealogical Society
in 1982 and 1986. As a point of interest Notes
and Queries was originally published between 1879
and 1895 as a series of newspaper columns in the
Harrisburg Daily Telegraph, then carried forward and
published in five annual volumes between 1896 and
1900. The columns (and offprints of the columns
which appeared in pamphlet form) were reprinted
in seven volumes between the years 1894 and 1896;
thus, with the five annual volumes for 1896-1900, the
complete set of Notes and Queries that appears on this
CD totals 12 volumes.
