    Biographical Dictionary of the Youngs (born 1653-1870) from Towns under the Jurisdiction of Strafford County, New Hampshire, before 1840 - Louise Ryder Young. The lengthy introduction explains in detail the methodology and the format used. Basically, every person born with the name Young who lived to marry is the subject of a main biographical article which gives all the known information about that person including names of parents, spouses, and children, and all the available vital statistics, information on land ownership, estates, etc. In addition, there are many main entries for men and women who did not marry, but were otherwise important members of their communities, and about whom a good deal of information was found.

    Biographical Dictionary of the Youngs (Born Circa 1600-1870) From Essex and Old Norfolk Counties, Massachusetts Bay Colony, Which Once Contained Parts of Present-Day Rockingham County, New Hampshire - Louise Ryder Young.

    Biographical Dictionary of The Youngs (Born circa 1625-1870) From Towns Under the Jurisdiction of York County, Maine - Louise Rider Young. This third volume on the Youngs from the northeastern coastal area represents the closure of a trilogy begun in 1977. It is a listing of all proprietors, pioneers, land owners, heads of family, soldiers and sailors, brides, widows and orphans with the family name of Young in York County. The introduction explains in detail the methodology and the format used. Included is an alphabetical listing of the county's cities and towns which details the topography and history of each. Individual entries include 1,547 Youngs and 1,144 allied family names. The entries are alphabetically arranged and include as much information as was available and verifiable, such as: dates of birth, marriage and death; occupation; parents; residence; property and value; names of spouses and children. Dates of birth and parentage are fully cross-indexed. A + beside the name of a married child under the parent's entry indicates the existence of a main entry for that child. Two maps show York County before and after 1872. The extensive bibliography is broken down into geographical regions: national, state, county and town. Sources include military records, censuses, vital records, court records, gazetteers, church records, cemetery inscriptions and local histories. There are two everyname indices, one for allied families and one for the Youngs. Finding an individual is easy because each index entry includes the person's date of birth. 1996, 209 pp., maps, indices, paper, $21.00 #ZY586
