Details will vary with each biography but will often include the date and place of birth, parent names including mothers' maiden name, name of wife including maiden name, her parents' names, name of children (including spouses if married), former places of residence, occupation details, military service, church and social organization affiliations, and more. There are often ancestry details included that cannot be found in any other type of genealogical record.

DR. J. C. REYNOLDS was born in Graves County, Ky., January 16, 1844. He is a son of Pryor and Lucretia (Williams) Reynolds. The doctor was reared on his father’s farm, where he remained until the age of nineteen. He then commenced the study of dentistry with his brother, and after working three years under his instruction, he was admitted as a partner. This partnership continued until 1882, when his brother retired from the firm. Through close attention to study the doctor has mastered his profession, and is now prepared to perform all work in his line with neatness and dispatch. He was married in 1866 to Miss Mary Smith, of Graves County; three sons have blessed this union. Dr. and Mrs. Reynolds are members of the Baptist Church.
