[Genealib] DESERT ISLAND GENEALOGY BOOKS

[Heather McLeland-Wieser]

I'd have to include Val Greenwood's Guide to American Genealogy.  By the far the best at explaining why a genealogist might want to consult a specific source.

I'd add Ancestry's Red Book: American State, County and Town Sources to
your list.

Subject: [Genealib] DESERT ISLAND GENEALOGY BOOKS


I am teaching a course on "Genealogy for Librarians" at the University
of
British Columbia this fall.  I am compiling a "Basic Bookshelf" list and
would like to include a representative range of basic titles.

North of the border here, I don't get a lot of U.S. genealogy questions
(it's by far mainly Canada and British Isles), so I am curious about
what
would be considered two or three core titles on U.S. genealogy for a
basic
genealogy collection.  The ones I have in mind so far are the "Handybook
for genealogists" and "The source: a guide book of American genealogy".

Feedback and other suggestions?  Please and thanks,
