List
of Major Genealogy Resources
| Genealogy
Index
This
index serves as the Library's "master list".
It guides the family researcher to any genealogical
references within our File Case A, published family
histories, city and county histories and standard
genealogical journals, i.e. "National Genealogical
Society Quarterly", "MGS Bulletin",
etc. Several hundred names were recently added to
this index from the library's research correspondence,
and it is continually being updated; not on-line at
this time.
