Hi Carruthers List, (and copied)
This is a 'New' database of potential high significance, see below [[THIS
DATABASE IS FREE FOR ONLY ABOUT 10 DAYS - AFTER THAT IT IS UNAVAIL TO
NON-SUBSCRIBERS]]. As you can see just by this first excerpt of 10 names (out of 68),
there are some older Carruthers present here.
Just to get this past the RootsWeb filters, I'm resending this message in .txt
format. Below is just the first page, and there are 6 more pages that follow at the
site, go to below! At the bottom is a description of this database, summarized here:
'This database contains millions of records of people whose names have appeared in
printed genealogical records and family histories.'
But each of you can use this potentially useful database FREE for about 10 days:

Description: One of the most important genealogical collections, the American
Genealogical-Biographical Index, or AGBI, is the equivalent of more than 200 printed
volumes. This database contains millions of records of people whose names have
appeared in printed genealogical records and family histories. With data from sources
largely from the last century, each entry contains the person's complete name, the
year of the biography's publication, the person's state of birth (if known),
abbreviated biographical data, and the book and page number of the original
reference. In addition to family histories, other genealogical collections are
indexed. These include the Boston Transcript (a genealogical column widely
circulated), the complete 1790 U.S. Federal Census, and published Revolutionary War
records. The most recent update to this database reflects the inclusion of volumes
196-206. For researchers of American ancestors, this can be one of the most valuable
databases available at
Ancestry.com.
Most of the works referenced in the AGBI are housed at the Godfrey Memorial Library
in Connecticut. A photocopy service is available. Please contact Godfrey Memorial
Library at 134 Newfield St, Middletown, CT 06457 or via e-mail at
referenceinfo(a)godfrey.org to make use of this service.
To learn more about the AGBI, read the extended description below, but also read Kory
Meyerink's article "Genealogy's Best-kept Secret: American
Genealogical-Biographical
Index."
Extended Description: Information about This Index:
For BiographyFor use in biographical searches, this index presents few problems. It
is an easy way to find information about the lives of many American men and
womeninformation other sources do not always contain.
For GenealogyFamily historians will find this a tool unparalleled by any other. It
should be one of the first tools used by genealogical researchers. This does not mean
genealogists will always find the answer to every query; however, the researcher who
fails to use the index may miss key information easily available. Nearly half of all
references within the AGBI do not appear in any other place.
Information that Appears Nowhere ElseTen percent of all published genealogies are
not indexed anywhere else. This index includes Boston Transcript entries, with 2
million or more personal name references that appeared in the Boston Transcript
during its forty-plus years of publication. Most of this material has never been
published anywhere else.
Consolidation of Multiple IndexesAll of the twelve volumes of the First Census of
the United States can be found here. This means the index offers a complete record,
in one place, of all heads of families who lived in the United States in 1790. Also
included are the forty-three volumes of records for Colonial soldiers who served in
the Revolutionary War.
Names that Were IndexedThe index is of all persons according to set standards,
rather than every name. The following persons have been included in the index: (1)
person mentioned as wife, husband, father, mother, son, daughter, or other relative,
of some person mentioned; (2) person mentioned as being born or married, or those
mentioned dying; (3) person mentioned as having performed military or public service,
or mentioned in connection with other facts of biographical importance; (4) person
mentioned in a deed or legal document; (5) person mentioned as one of the founders of
a settlement, a passenger on an immigrant ship (before 1850), a member of a church
(before 1850), etc.
Name the Were OmittedOmissions include: (1) persons (such as ship captains,
ministers, army officers, etc.) mentioned only casually and not related to the family
line being followed; (2) all casually mentioned names of well-known persons (e.g.,
George Washington or Benjamin Franklin); (3) witnesses, and similar incidental names,
that appear in legal documents; (4) authors of works cited, or persons cited as
authorities for statements.
Entry ConstructionEach entry consists of the following: (1) Person's surname,
spelled as it appears in the indexed text (Note that names are, in general, written
and filed as one word, e.g., "Van Derbilt" and "Van Der Bilt" would be
written as
"Vanderbilt"; also, surnames with apostrophes have been indexed and
alphabetized
without the apostrophe, though it does appear in the actual name, e.g.,
"O'Connor"
would be filed as "Oconnor."); (2) The person's first name (or initial) and
middle
names (or initials), if any (Note that if there is no given name, we have substituted
a long dash in that area, and where an abbreviated name is given in the text, we have
substituted the full name indicated if it is clear (e.g., for "Dan" we write
"Daniel"); (3) The person's birth year, as it appears in the indexed text;
(4) The
person's state (or states) of residence (including the states of birth and death, if
they are known); (5) Biographical data, abbreviated; (6) The page citation of the
text being indexed; consisting of the abbreviated title and page number.
AbbreviationsState name abbreviations are uniformly two-letter. For well-known
foreign countries, three-letter abbreviations are used (e.g., Can for Canada or Eng
for England). For military service, the following abbreviations have been used (Note
that if a man's rank is not stated, abbreviations "mil." or "nav."
are used to
indicate the branch of service): priv. - Private; lt. - Lieutenant; corp. - Corporal;
serg. - Sergeant; comma. - Commander; capt. - Captain; maj. - Major; col. - Colonel;
gen. - General; ens. - Ensign. If a child died young, or if a man or woman died
unmarried or left no children, these facts are stated using these respective
abbreviations: d.y. or d.inf., d.unm., or no ch.
Notes on the Compiling of an Index:
The efficient indexing of a genealogical work requires practical commonsense, as well
as good editorial judgment. At times it also requires something approaching detective
ability, for genealogies have been compiled by all sorts of people, most of whom have
not had any previous experience in writing, and the material in some of them is
devious and obscure to the last degree to everyone except the person who compiled it.
If, in a given text, a genealogical descent is obscure or ambiguous, we decipher it
and index the names cited according to the best conclusions we can arrive at without
undue delay or abnormal cost. We are indexing, not unraveling obscurities.

What Do I Do Now? Remember that the AGBI is an index to individuals appearing in
family histories and other genealogical works, and researchers are encouraged to
locate and examine the material from which the database was created. If not available
from your local academic or research library, most of the works referenced in the
AGBI are housed at the Godfrey Memorial Library in Connecticut. A photocopy service
is available. Please contact Godfrey Memorial Library, 134 Newfield St, Middletown,
