Over the past few years, genealogy has become one of the most popular hobbies in the United States. Not only are people wondering about their ancestors, where they lived, what they did, what their life was like, but some are interested in the cause of their death. Doctors are asking patients for their family's history.
We plan to list the family history books presently on the shelves and then continue to give you the names of new books when they are donated. If you have a family history not listed here, we would be happy to receive a copy for our shelves. Those of you who have done research know you will also be interested in the history books on the shelves which might include: census, births, deaths, maps, marriages, cemeteries, obituaries, funeral home records, etc. We would also be happy to receive any books of this type you might have that you do not plan to use again personally. We will try to list these books as we go along, too.
For those who cannot make the trip to the Heritage Center, we would be glad to answer your questions. It would be better if you only requested one or two bits of information at a time. Also please send a stamped, self-addressed, long (#10) envelope or larger with your query. Remember the Heritage Center is working on a donation basis and cannot pay for postage for answering queries.
