Hi Folks: If you would like to see which of the 5000 books that the LDS Family History Library has digitized today and made available to the public, you will need to closely follow the instructions given below. It took me a little while to find the summary listing of the 62 books that contain information on my KING family line. From the summary listing, you can then go directly to the detail text. In reviewing the summary listing for KING family related data, I noted that my book titled FROM WAGONS TO SPACESHIPS, which contains a lot of genealogical data on my KING and CLOUD family lines, is apparently still waiting to be digitized. It is no longer available for sale, but may be available in your area for Inter Library Loan; especially, in the southeastern states and in CA. The data below is a summary of the information recently made available to the public by the LDS Family History Library. The BYU Library has a massive collection of data, so follow the instructions outlined below to go to their listing. Good luck and great ancestor hunting.
