Chadbourne Locations Collection

Florence Chadbourne was WAGS’ chief researcher for over 40 years–from the 1970s to the 2010s. As she researched requests, she filed copies of the information, in the hope that it would come in handy for another genealogist someday!

This list shows the twenty states (and one pedigree list from Ireland!) and many counties represented in this collection. Florence saved copies of many county histories and Centennial publications, plus information copied from county vital records.

Chadbourne Locations Collection

This collection of location information, as well as its companion collection, the Chadbourne Surnames Collection, is also merged with the Family Books and Documents database shown in the Records Collections list under Surnames.

Research Requests:
It would be ideal to access these location folders in person at our library, but if that’s not possible, and if you need more information, a WAGS volunteer could do this research for you. Select the Add to Cart button next to the record and describe in detail on the order form the name/place/time you’d like researched. This will add one hour of research time to your cart. The results of the research will be emailed to you. (Note: WAGS volunteers are not professional researchers.)

The Custom SEARCH Builder ‘Add Condition’ Button filter above the data table is used to search (filter) data in any or all column(s) of the data table. You select the columns needed to limit your search. To start over, try your Refresh key; then use the Clear ‘X’ or Clear All button to clear out any prior search text you have entered.
Use the ‘+’ button on the left of any row to better view data using a pop-up window versus the wrapped text in each cell of the table.
The normal table SEARCH box on the top right is used to search for data in ANY column. No need to use ‘wildcard’ characters in your searching or filtering–the search filters do that automatically. Therefore, don’t put too much info in the custom or normal search filter boxes; it could cause nothing to be found. Start with just a few characters in the search boxes and work up from there.
You can PRINT, download in CSV format, or copy to the clipboard the displayed records.
