genealog.uscensus: For each federal census between 1790 and 1900, this article by LaVona L. Ness tells what information was collected. Comments are made about the limitations of the census.
genealog.qportlst: Supposedly an "OLD PORTS LISTING" (the wine? for ships?), this file seems instead to contain a list of books from the Library of Congress on-line catalog (see Library of Congress files for help on how to use the information referenced) that include the string "port" (as in "report" and "Davenport, Iowa" and "Portage Township" etc) and relate somehow to genealogy.
List of United States Counties: In four parts, a list of all the counties in the United States, plus the names of their county seats and the zip code of the county seat. States are in alphabetical order by their two letter postal abbreviation. (That is, Alaska, AK, comes before Alabama, AL, etc.)
- genealog.uscount1: From Alaska through Illinois plus Adams County in Indiana.
- genealog.uscount2: From Allen County in Indiana through Prentiss County, Mississippi.
- genealog.uscount3: From Quitman County, Mississippi, through Saluda County, South Carolina. (A nice source for Pennsyvania are the GENCAP Counties Pages.)
- genealog.uscount4: From Spartanburg County, South Carolina, to Weston County, Wyoming.
genealog.uscounts: A list of all the counties in the United States, in a single file. This differs from the series above in that only the names of the counties are given (not their seats and zip codes). It's set up as a shell script for Unix, so you can run it and have a file built for each state. But it's also an ASCII file and usuable just by ignoring that funny Unix stuff. ;-)
genealog.vital-nw: Genealogical and historical societies of the United States with a nation-wide scope. (See the individual states below for societies with a more local focus.) Information about vital records sources (general) plus addresses of major records repositories such as the National Archives and the Library of Congress.
