When I was a child, there was a Toys R Us catalog that came out before Christmas every year. This was pre-Excel, but if I had known what spreadsheets were, I would have spreadsheeted the heck out of that catalog. Wish lists continue to be my thing. I actually have an entire journal that I just use for wish lists.
Now it’s your turn. We need to know what books you want in our new CGS Library. We’ve been given a gift of $600 and the Library Committee’s wish list needs to be bulked up!
What do you want to see in the library? Is there a genealogy book on YOUR wish list that you think would benefit others?
Put together your top five and comment here or send to [email protected].
Here is mine:
- Your Stripped Bare Guide to Citing & Using History Sources by Elizabeth Shown Mills
- Who Do Your Think You Are? By Megan Smolenyak
- 300 Questions to Ask Your Parents Before It’s Too Late by Shannon Alder
- Reading Early American Handwriting by Kip Sperry
- The Family Tree Guide to DNA Testing and Genetic Genealogy by Blaine T. Bettinger
