send you (off list) the top ten questions/issues gathered, including
ones from members of this list.

Genealogy questions asked at the reference desk (hope this isn't a
duplicate post) -

Hopefully as librarians in the field you might be able to share your
expertise. I am teaching a genealogy reference course this summer and
since I am not in the field can only give the students the "academic"
view of genealogy research. Would you be able to share questions
commonly asked about genealogy at the reference desk? Do you have any
books/websites/etc. that you constantly recommend? Any obscure sources?
I'd like to give them questions to help them discover what they may be
faced with as reference librarians dealing with genealogy. If you have
any suggestions you could offer I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks for your help.
