No, you won't find the actual books/genealogies online. At the DAR Library Catalog site, type in the surname you are looking for, then pull down the right arrow and choose "Subject" and click the **Find** button. When you get a list of topics, then choose one topic and click on it. When you get your search narrowed to ONE topic/title then a button comes up called MARC Display. Click on it and you will get the name of the author, library call numbers, when it was written, and sometimes where the author was from. If I found an author writing something on my family and he may still be alive then I would start searching for him or try to find the book in another place or library. http://dar.library.net The site informs you to inquire with them about what they might do for you. They WON'T copy a whole work. They want you to visit the library to find your book. Call or write for more information on your find: THE DAR LIBRARY 1776 D ST., N.W. WASHINGTON, DC 20006-5392 202-879-3229 If anyone has more information on how the DAR in DC works for help, let us know.
