Genealogies In The Library Of Congress

Vol 1 905p Vol 2 961p.

This ten-year supplement lists 10,000 titles acquired by the Library of Congress since 1976--this extraordinary number reflecting the phenomenal growth of interest in genealogy since the publication of Roots. An index of secondary names contains about 8,500 entries, and a geographical index lists family locations when mentioned.

"The present compilation lists not only American and English works but also holdings of Canadian, Irish, Welsh, Scottish, Australian, Latin American, Polish, German, Dutch, Scandinavian, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and Asian sources. It includes all the entries from the Family Name Index, the 60-drawer card catalog located in the Local History and Genealogy Room of the Library of Congress"--Editor's note.
