===Biographies in Local Histories=== | |||
*Biographical information is often found in '''state, county, and town histories'''. | |||
*Towards the end of the 19th century, began publishers soliciting short biographical/family histories from local founding families, offering to publish them in an upcoming local history. This then became an incentive for family members to buy a copy of the book. | |||
*Families represented were '''not necessarily prominent'''. Practically everyone living there, especially in the Midwest, counted as an early settler. | |||
*These biographies often start with '''the first member of the family to settle in the area''', and detail their descendants at the time of publishing. They may tell '''where the family moved in from'''. Children's marriages often are given, with '''maiden names''' included. | |||
====Finding Biographies==== | |||
*The [[Hawaii, United States Genealogy#Counties|'''county Wiki page''']] lists several county histories. It also lists '''local libraries, and societies''' which probably have copies of local histories. | |||
*Many histories are no longer under copyright and can be found in the following '''online, digitized book collections'''. Search with keywords "History" and "the name of your locality" (state, county, or town). | |||

**[https://archive.org/ '''Internet Archive'''] | |||
*The FamilySearch library has extensive collections of these local histories. Many are digitized. Search the [https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog '''FamilySearch Catalog'''] under your locality for the topics "Biography" and "History". | |||
The Hawaii State Archives has a biographical file of published and manuscript information. A representative biographical encyclopedia for [[Hawaii Genealogy|Hawaii]] is John William Siddall, ''Men of Hawaii'' (Honolulu: Honolulu Star-Bulletin, Ltd., 1917; FamilySearch Library {{FSC|217897|title-id|disp=book 996.9 D3m; Volume 1 on film 1320605 item 5, Volume 4 on film 1697869 item 4, Volume 5 on film 1000163}}). | |||
A more modern source of biographical information is Henry Pratt Judd, ''Men and Women of Hawaii: 1954'' (Honolulu: Business Consultants, 1954; FS Library book {{FSC|217947|title-id|disp=996.9 D3mw}}). | |||
