I am trying to help a patron locate a publication by Isaac Hoover Julian called "Outline History of the Julian and Hoover Families." I found mention of this work in a brief biographical entry reprinted on a web site. I subsequently searched World Cat with no luck then tried Heritage Quest and Ancestry LE to see what I could find. I did find a couple of articles in PERSI related to the Julian family and another biographical entry for Isaac H. in ALE but nothing referred to that history of the two families.... I doubt that you are going to find a publication by this name in any "normal" library. Perhaps in the historical society of the county (Wayne, Indiana?) where these families were located. I find just two primary references to this publication when I do a google search. In one, the phrase outline history of the Julian and Hoover families is used without italics or quote marks, serving (IMHO) only as a description of something written by this author. In the other, 'Outline History of the Julian and Hoover Families' appears in quotes, an editorial style sometimes used for, for example, a magazine article. Has your patron participated in the HOOVER online discussion group? See < http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~desloan/> for some commentary on this group.
