Tops in my Genealogy Library

Can a genealogist ever have too many books? Probably not. Here is a sampling of the top 10, most-used books in my genealogical library:

Evidence Explained: Citing History Sources from Artifacts to Cyberspace by Elizabeth Shown Mills

Professional Genealogy: A Manual for Researchers, Writers, Editors, Lecturers, and Librarians by Elizabeth Shown Mills

Your Guide to Cemetery Research by Sharon de Bartolo Carmack

Historic Greene County, Tennessee and Its People: 1783-1992, by the Greene County History Book Committee

Irish Records: Sources for Family and Local History, Revised Edition by James G. Ryan

French Canadian Sources: A Guide for Genealogists by Patricia Keeney Geyh et. al.

The Researcher's Guide to American Genealogy, Third Edition by Val D. Greenwood - I have the 2nd Edition, but the 3rd Edition is now available.

The DAR Patriot Index, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution - I'll confess that I don't use my outdated, hard copy any longer. As a DAR member, I have access to the online database which is continually updated as new patriots are proven. Nevertheless, the book is still a terrific resource, and should not be overlooked.

Catalog of the Seimes Microfilm Collection (2001) , National Society Daughters of the American Revolution - A listing of State and County records and Family history titles that are available on film and fiche in the DAR Microfilm center.
