RN # 271 Jones Journeys : A Topical Index (II)

This notebook continues the indexing of the 19 volume set called Jones Journeys.  The cover of my copy for volume two is shown below. [Some nice drawings on the covers of various volumes.]

Again, it is a alphabetical listing by state (US) outlining the content of each volume for that state.  This notebook begins with the state of Nebraska, and ends of course with Wyoming... which is the only state of the 50 that did not seem to have a Jones Surname reference. [How about that.]

The notebook then contains the references for 1)) Revolutionary War Pensions and records, 2) War of 1812, and 3) references for England and Wales.

Does anyone know of an early Jones family to Wyoming?  Please post a comment below.

RN #270 Jones Journeys : A Topical Index (I)

Jones Journeys has been a continual help in my Jones surname tree climbing.  It was first published May 1973 by Mrs. Darla M. Jones, Rialto, CA.  It was published quarterly until 1992, and contains a wealth of information pertaining to the Jones surname.  No cumulative index existed, and as a reference, it was very hard to use since each volume had to be checked. [Has 19 volumes!]   The following notebook contains a state by state index [by topic/subject] of the complete set 1973 - 1992.  It was made following many frustrating attempts to follow an individual through the 19 volumes.

A sample from the cover of volume 19 is shown:

A sample of this notebook's content for the states "Alabama" through "Montana" is shown for Kentucky...

Each state has been organized from the content of this amazing collection of genealogy for the Jones surname.
