Research

Do you wonder where you came from? Who were your ancestors? Where did they come from? How did they get here in the United States? This list of books will tell you how to get started in the greatest adventure of your life! Or maybe you've been searching for awhile, but need some new tips or guides to new places to look. This is your list of books. Remember to call the library and make an appointment with me. I'm at the library the first Wednesday of every month, but I can come in by other days, by appointment only! Happy searching!
