The book relies on the county boundaries as they were during the colonial era, 1607-1790. Some of the colonies are organized and displayed by their colonial precincts, parishes, districts, or counties and all include maps of the earliest settlements. Listed under each parent county are any progeny counties created during the colonial era. There are numerous references to new county formations and boundary changes throwing a town or precinct from one county to another. This is important information for anyone searching for a particular vital record (birth, marriage, death, burial) and wanting to know which county to search. There are also references to parishes being replaced by counties e.g., 12 parishes of Georgia became 7 counties in 1777.
