The prompt for week 5 is “At The Library”. Much of my genealogy research is done ‘at the library’, both in person and through online archives. I often check books out for use at home. And when I find myself referring to a book more several several times, I consider whether it would be more useful to own a copy of the book. Today, I am going to show you the books on my genealogy shelf in my personal library.
- Coffee Break Italian - Season 1 Transcripts
- Italian Genealogical Records by Traffod R. Cole
- Italian-American Family History by Sharon Debartolo Carmack
- Long-Distance Genealogy by Christine Crawford-Oppenheimer
- Your Guide to Cemetery Research by Sharon Debartolo Carmack
- The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Writing Your Family History by Lynda Rutledge Stephenson y
- Alton High School Alumni Directory 1996
- Alton by Cheryl Eichar Jett, part of the Imagesof America series
- Our Father’s Business by Jeanette Hahnenkamp Gentry
- The Streets of St. Louis by William B. Magnan
In addition, I have an assortment of high school and college yearbooks on my shelf from areas where my family is found. Some of these were passed down, and others I bought online. I’ve not added to my collection recently, because the yearbooks are been digitized and placed online on the college website and/or Internet Archive. Browsing them online isanother way to be ‘at the library’.
