Here’s this week’s challenge, authored by Amy Coffin: Family History Library Catalog
Week 36: Check out the Family History Library catalog. In terms of its library collections, there are no rivals. From this web page, you can search by place, surname, keyword, title, film/fiche, author, subject, and call number. Try all of them. Don’t do actual research with this exercise. Instead just click links and see all the catalog has to offer. Many of these... items can be rented for a small fee and viewed at your local Family History Center. You do not have to be a member of the LDS Church to utilize this service. If you write a genealogy blog, tell readers what you found during this exercise, or describe the types of materials you’ve received through this genealogy tool
52 Weeks to Better Genealogy is a series of weekly blog prompts which has been designed to help those new to genealogy and those who would like to strengthen on some genealogy/family history skills
.
Amy Coffin of the We Tree blog has put together this wonderful series. These prompts are listed on www.geneabloggers.com -- a valuable shared community resource. Posts from other GeneaBloggers will be found there, too.
