Abstract:
Digital files and paper records pertaining to the history and genealogy of the Bourland and White families, as researched by Charles Bourland Jr. over a 20 year period. The digital files include a list of sources documenting the Bourland family (B sources) and the White family (W sources). The paper records are sources documenting the White genealogy (W sources); these items include facsimile excerpts from books, facsimile manuscripts, photographs, typed genealogical records, handwritten notes, maps, pamphlets, printed materials, genealogical charts, correspondence, clippings, and more. Content described in these original and facsimile documents dates from ca. 1870s-1990s, with family history information dating back to the 1600s. An incomplete list of the W sources housed in box 1 can be found in the "Sources Database" PDF file, starting on page 26. The White family came in the mid-1600s into Maryland, Delaware, and Pennsylvania, and moved in the late 1700s to Monongalia County, (now) West Virginia. The Bourland family came from Virginia and Massachusetts and moved gradually into Kentucky. Paper copies of most of the B sources are housed at the Hopkins County (Kentucky) Genealogical Society.
