MASTER BOOK LIST
The Master Booklist is a compilation of references to Alfords (and spelling variations) contained in books. Entries are organized by state and county, with books covering multiple states appearing first. Each entry lists the book name and publication data followed by the name in bold print of every Alford listed on the pages that AAFA has. Spelling variations are listed in upper case following Alford listings. The page number where the name is found is listed next followed by a brief description (and sometimes the complete listing) of what information about the person is contained on the page.
Purposes of the Booklist
1. By extracting "Alford" data from books located across the country and centralizing this information, more data is available to more Alford researchers. Copies of any pages listed on the Booklist are available for an SASE to AAFA members (send enough postage and an appropriately sized envelope) and for ten cents per page plus an SASE to non-members from the AAFA Librarian:
Lynn Shelley
1921 E. Nottingham Lane
Springfield, MO 65804-7733
417-882-4206
lynnandjimshelley@yahoo.com
2. Data about each Alford appearing in each source is entered into AAFA's computer files, enabling AAFA to provide information for any researcher who needs it.
Contributing to the Booklist
1. When you go to the library, archives, etc., take this list with you so you won't duplicate work that's already been copied.
2. Important: In addition to the pages on which Alfords appear, copy the title page. If the publication date is on the back, write it on the copy. Also try to include introductions that contain interpretative material, indexes, and any other pages you think will help understand the contents.
3. Mail copies to:
AAFA
P.O. Box 1297
Florissant, MO 63031-1297
Hints:Note the counties on this list in which Alfords appear. Look for other books pertaining to these counties.
Alfords were in many states that are not well represented on this list yet. Check sources in New England, western states and the Midwest.
Census indexes and cemetery lists are not included on this list but we do want to receive them because the data is useful to their respective AAFA committees. Please send copies and we will pass them on to the committees.
Check all spelling variations in the index: Allford, Alvord, Alfred, Halford, Hallford, Holford, Olford. Misspellings such as Alfird and Alferd also occur.
