For those of you who are not members or who are unaware of this service, Ancestry.com is offering a free month of access to ALL of their services and data (they usually have a couple of databases free each month, but this, I gather, is for their entire library of material) - if you haven't checked this site out in the past, now is a good time to do so. I am a member and have found a lot of really good material. I think the URL below will get you to the site. I know I sound like I am advertising but, I assure you, I am NOT getting a penny for this plug! Note: a new database they have just added is AGBI (American Genealogical-Biographical Index) which is published by the library where I volunteer, Godfrey Memorial Library in Middletown, CT. This is an every-name index to about 800 different sources, most of which were never indexed prior to this. AGBI, for the most part, references material or families that lived prior to 1850 and there is a heavier concentration on New England lines than other areas (though they are also covered). This set is nearly 200 volumes and is at most major libraries or Universities in the country. It is now available through Ancestry.com's database and will soon be available on CD Rom to libraries and individuals. While Godfrey does not have every book or item mentioned, we likely have more than any other area of the U.S. If you find something that you would like me to check on, contact me privately with the particulars and I will be happy to see if Godfrey has it. http://www.ancestry.com/ancestry/search.asp Happy hunting!
