    3. Hello- I recently acquired a General Society publication from 1901. I would like to find a comprehensive list of all publications by the General Society other than the silver books. Can someone point me in the right direction. Thanks. John Schellinger

The second is to try www.worldcat.org and do an advanced search using "General Society of Mayflower Descendants" as a phrase anywhere. Trying that I got 257 hits which one could then wade through and weed out. This may not be comprehensive. Other possibilities include trying the advanced search at the Library of Congress (which will give some, but it appears not anywhere near all), other libraries such as the Allen County Public Library or the FHL (although their catalog searches may not be sophisticated enough), used book sites, and whatever else you might think of. Any of those would only give holdings or in stock merchandise, so one would have to comb a lot of libraries (which is what WorldCat does for you). But I'd call the society and ask.
