The Gillilands: a Bibliography

Kate’s notes: The following is the what I hope will be the first of several bibliographies for those seeking reference materials. Some of the books here are rare and avaiable for on-site viewing only, while others have been reprinted and may be found in the inventory of genealogy booksellers. Still other references are available for online viewing.

You’ll have to pardon the rather haphazard presentation; because these titles were gleaned from just a few specific collections I thought it best to present the entries in the manner they are catalogued by the source. URLs have been provided should you wish more detailed information on each of these volumes.

Contributions for future bibliographies are most welcome. Please provide as much information as possible about the title and if possible, if or where it is available. Email me at hpuppet@shentel.net and put “Gilliland Bibliography” in your subject line.

Finally, due to time constraints I focused my efforts primarily on the Gilliland surname spelling but the bibliography is by no means restricted to Gillilands only.
