Hi Coralyn, Like your name!! I don't really know the names of any good genealogy books, but ,Barnes and Noble has an on-line address and I understand they have many good genealogy books. Everton Press is probably online too and that is all genealogy stuff. I'm rather new to all of this too, but, it's kinda fun searching and knowing you did it all by yourself. Have you put your surname on any lists with Rootsweb? I think you just type an email addressed to: (the surname you are researching -L@rootsweb.com, then just type in the body of the letter "subscribe", DO NOT TYPE IN SUBJECT, ETC.. That puts you on their list and you will be connected to all people who are searching for your name. What is the surname you are searching? Hope this helps..it is kinda like the blind leading the blind..since I'm fairly new to both the computer and genealogy. Don't forget the Latter Day Saints libraries..they have it all! They are also online. Best of luck!
