Here are books that I own physically or digitally that I have collected to help with family history research. I believe in supporting family historians who share their work with others, but I also understand how disappointing it is to spend money on a resource you can’t get from the library only to realize there is nothing relevant in it. If you see a book of interest below, I am happy to help you figure out if it will be helpful (check the table of contents, index, or offer a general sense of what you will find in it). While many of the family history books may not speak about your family directly, they are very good for relaying a sense of what it was like for them. The list is in alphabetical order by author surname.

If you are looking for a specific title, WorldCat can locate the closest library that has it in its collection.
