Source/Reference Publications
The following publications are some that may be useful to you in searching for, or documenting, your TERRELL lines. We've made an initial attempt to locate some on the web and have tried to indicate one or more locations when we could. Remember that the mere fact that these were printed does not mean that any one of them is completely accurate. As with all published works, these should be used only as leads to additional research.
Most of these are searchable, but some PDFs (e.g., some of google.com's) are not searchable and this is a nuisance for old books which had no index.
Notes (list last updated 30 March 2015):
- A Status may be listed as Free if at least one of the sources provides a free copy.
- A Status may be listed as Restricted if the locations of the only copies that we list require special access or login or subscription (when known). Therefore, if you have access, it is at no additional cost to you. For example, familysearch.org seems to require you to access some documents from a terminal in the LDS Family History Center.
- When a document is in our Society's Library we include our Library Identifier in the Description (e.g., [L167]).
- To follow any links we recommend right-clicking and choosing "open in new tab" or "open in new window". To search for anything just use CTRL-F within your browser.
