The Rudy Nothdurft Collection of Newsom-Newsome-Nuzum Family Genealogical Records. Accession 43744. Personal papers collection, The Library of Virginia, Richmond, Virginia.
Gift of Rudolph J. Nothdurft, Jr., Richland, South Carolina, 22 April 2008.
Genealogical research files of Rudolph J. Nothdurft, Jr. (1927- ), focusing on the Newsom-Newsome-Nuzum family, mostly of the Southeast and Midwest. The bulk of the collection consists of correspondence between Nothdurft and others who either had or sought information on the family, and copies of primary source documents gathered during his research. Also included are two bound compilations done by Nothdurft, Compiled Histories of Newsom, Newsham, Newsum, Newsome, and Nuzum Families Who Came to America , and The Newsom Newsome Family Genealogy and History , both completed in 2004.
Collection is maintained in the original folder groupings established by Rudolph J. Nothdurft, Jr. The file folders retain the same labels as his originals. Additional information recorded in the Contents List was copied from Nothdurft's notes on the original file folders. The folders have been arranged alphabetically, with a separate section at the end for folders labeled with state name abbreviations. By and large, Nothdurft organized these notes under the name of the person from whom he received information, or for whom he provided information, not according to the individual or individuals being researched.
