[Genealib] Cataloging Family Group Sheets

[Carole Stuart]

For any group sheets, family trees, etc. we create file folders which are 
kept in a Family History filing cabinet.  We created a Call Number FH to 
indicate family histories. The record is catalogued as per example.

     Telfer family [file]
                  Subjects a.. Telfer Family -- Collingwood, ON.

                    a.. Family histories

                  Summary, etc.:  Contains detailed family information on 
the descendants of William Telfer who emigrated to Canada from Scotland 
c1780.

Hope this helps.  This allows patrons to search by family names or by family 
histories.
