No Bromagems are listed. It's only about 16 pages, but includes claims registered from the Revolutionary period so I thought it may be useful to general research in the area. I did find a claim for a Troy though, one of the intermarried relations, as well as several familiar names including Capt Scott, under whom Elias served.N.

This year's genealogy trip will be to the Cumberland Gap genealogy jamboree, which means I'll be focusing on Mom's relatives in preparation. But next year - back to the Bromagem puzzle!Nan Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10398653861023483562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7858628909851016786.post-40093688367906971382010-12-31T06:26:12.942-08:002010-12-31T06:26:12.942-08:00Sandy, the Burgess name sounds familiar to me.

Not sure if they're in the publick claims book, possibly the Core books and/or the records I've seen. If you haven't seen the Core books, let me know and I'll check them for you.N.

I agree, it needs to be on every genealogist's shelf (I actually keep mine on the coffee table, because I refer to it so often.)Toniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14688040686852110671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7858628909851016786.post-41753411543334265722010-12-30T11:26:30.534-08:002010-12-30T11:26:30.534-08:00Hi, Well....you sure did hit the jackpot!
