==State Histories Useful to Genealogists==
== State Histories Useful to Genealogists ==
Good genealogists strive to understand the life and times of their ancestors. In this sense, any history is useful.
But certain kinds of state, county, and local histories, especially older histories published between 1845 and 1945, often include biographical sketches of prominent individuals. The sketches usually tend toward the lauditory, but may include some genealogical details. If these histories are indexed or alphabetical, check for an ancestor's name. One of the best sources for studying Florida history is:


*''Florida: Historic- Dramatic-Contemporary,'' is an especially helpful source for studying the history of Florida. <ref>  Junius E. Dovell, ''Florida: Historic- Dramatic-Contemporary,'' Four Volumes. (New York, NY: Lewis Historical Publishing Company, 1952; Family History Library book [http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=titledetails&titleno=134294&disp=Florida%20%20&columns=*,0,0 975.9 H2do]).</ref>
