Longview - Genealogy Research Guide

This Guide is written with two goals in mind: 

1. Provide resource links for online genealogical research.
2. Describe the genealogy-related collections of the Longview Library.

It is by no means a comprehensive guide. Sites like Cyndi's List or Genealogy Sleuth (see Websites tab) are far more comprehensive than anything we could possibly do. This Guide is a starting point.

Across the top of this page are several tabs that help organize the information.

Before you begin your research you need to define your topic.

• Create a search question
• Identify keywords from your search question
• Combine keywords or concepts using 'and, or, not' for use in the appropriate databases

Suggested keywords: genealogy, family history, ancestry.

Call numbers: Books on genealogy are generally located in the 929s in our library.
