We're particularly proud of the index we prepared of Quinlan for our re-publication, and which is included on this CD-ROM.  The unabridged Quinlan (the source of our CD-ROM) consists of 700 numbered pages of text, plus 10 pages of advertisements, so an index is virtually a necessity. Until our republication became available, there was no index of Quinlan that went beyond a simple list of names available at any price.  We can confidently state that it is the most comprehensive publication of Quinlan that has ever been available.

What's in our new index of Quinlan's History...

We recognize that for many people the most important aspect of Quinlan will be whether or not an ancestor's name appears in it.  We've done some genealogy ourselves, and we understand.  Therefore, we've prepared a list of all the names that appear in Quinlan, and you can check it on-line before you purchase.  Want to see the list? 

Simply to view the list of names we've compiled based on our index.

To respond to a few of the questions we've been asked most frequently:

QUESTION:  I already have a copy of the Quinlan reprint, so I don't need a copy of the book.  However, I really do need your new index.  Is that available separately?

ANSWER:  YES, we have also prepared a CD-ROM for those who already own or otherwise have access to a copy of Quinlan but who want to take advantage of our new index without purchasing an additional copy what they already have -- namely Quinlan itself.    for more information about ordering either version of our Quinlan's History CD.

QUESTION:  How much does this CD cost?

ANSWER:  We have reduced the price for the CD containing both the unabridged Quinlan's History and our new index to $15.00.  Given the size of Quinlan and the amount of work that went into the new index, we think it's a fair price, but in these difficult times, we want to do what we can for Sullivan County researchers.

For the CD that contains ONLY the new index, the price is $9.50.  Remember: this version is intended for people who already have access to a copy of the unabridged version of Quinlan's History and need only the new index.

Again, THANK YOU to all for your support!!  This has been a huge project, and we appreciate your many kind and encouraging words!  And now it is done!

Exactly what is covered in Quinlan's History of Sullivan County?"

This is a fair question.  After all, virtually no pre-Revolutionary settlement of Sullivan County survived that war, and the county did not separate from Ulster County until the end of the first decade of the 19th century.  Thus, when Quinlan compiled his History, he really had only about a century of history of Sullivan County as an entity to work from -- yet the book is 710 pages long!

The first light to shed on this question comes from the title page of the book.  The full title of Quinlan's History is actually History of Sullivan County: embracing an account of its geology, climate, aborigines, early settlement, organization, the formation of its towns, with biographical sketches of prominent residents, etc., etc.

Quite a title!!

Quinlan did provide a Table of Contents that provides a bit more insight. (You should be aware that we currently offer CD-ROMs about the towns that appear in blue below, and as well offer Child's 1872 Gazetteer and Business Directory of Sullivan County, another valuable resource if you are researching in Sullivan County.  Please click on the blue links for more information about these CDs.)
