This is news I thought you might like to know about. Heritage Press
has just issued a new book of CARROLL Genealogy. I had read about it
recently and decided to take a chance and buy it at the
pre-publication
price. It in the mail yesterday, and I think it is well worth the
price
for those of us who cannot find those very early ancestors. It has
Carrolls - by any spelling - from England, Ireland, and other places.
It seems it must have mentioned every CARROLL except Alexander - the
one I am trying to find There had been a previous book on the Catholic
CARROLLS in Maryland, so they were mentioned only briefly in this
book.
I have copied part of the description and the URL for you to check it
out,
if you wish. {By the way, I am not involved with Heritage Books in any
way.}
Hope you find yours. Lura

Virginia Carrolls and Their Neighbors: 1618-1800s
by Elizabeth Carroll Foster
Chapters include a brief history of Ireland, a sketch of the colony of
Virginia into statehood (1585-1800), some land patents and grants.
Also the author provides a list of Virginia Carrolls having recorded
wills or inventories, some marriages without dates and locations,
Revolutionary War Pension applicants, soldiers in the Civil War, the
war with Spain and the
Philippine insurrection, and those found on Virginia records,
1618-1850s and beyond. This work is meant to assist research on
Virginia Carrolls; however, the text and index contain hundreds of
associated names, making it a valuable resource for locating ancestral
names in colonial Virginia. Maps add a delightful touch to this book.
1999, 248 pp., maps, bibl., fullname index, paper, $24.50 #ZF577
