Comprising
a total of twelve volumes, William Henry Egle's 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 5000 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.
Depending on the note or query, what you can learn about each listed individual
varies. You can learn information not only on individuals and their families but
the towns and locales in which they lived. You can learn facts such as birth and
baptism dates (from, for example, church and family records) as well as more descriptive
information (from, for example, personal correspondence and obituaries). Information
in Egle's columns also came from tombstone inscriptions, family histories, marriage
records, church records, tax records, and military records. With the great variety
of information included in this data set, you will be able to gain a more complete
understanding of your ancestors and their lives.
