The two sites below reprint old family histories.  If you buy a book they send you a catalog free. You can probably order the catalog separately.  The catalogs are interesting to read. http://www.willowbendbooks.com/default.asp http://www.higginsonbooks.com/ http://www.higginsonbooks.com/surnameb.htm  <surname search> The sites below often have old family books and out of print history books available to search. They sometimes refer you to the sites above. Beware of major booksellers who offer family books.  I believe their practice is to look up the books on these sites and then offer them with a markup. http://www.addall.com/Used/ http://www.bibliofind.com http://www.bookfinder.com/
