---

Most academic libraries do not systematically acquire genealogical material, do not shelve it in a single area, and are not prepared to give extensive assistance to family history researchers. With that warning understood, energetic and persistent genealogists will still find that a wealth of valuable information is available here, especially in secondary history works and in bibliographies.

The Harlan Hatcher Graduate Library has large holdings of historical, biographical, and bibliographical material and is thus the primary place on campus to perform genealogical work using printed sources.

Areas within the Graduate Library where frequently used works of genealogical value may be found are:

1. Reference Room, 2^nd floor North Building:
   Genealogical guides and bibliographies, Filby's Passenger List Index, Genealogies in the Library of Congress
   
   
2. 4^th floor South Building:
   

   C DA	Family history, collections of archival record transcriptions, peerage, collective biography British and Irish local history, including transcribed reports

3. 5^th floor South Building:
   

   DC-DX E-F

   General and local history of other European countries, Asia, Africa General and local history in the U.S. and other western hemisphere countries

4. 2^nd floor North Building, East Wing (sometimes referred to as 2 East and 2A East):
   Printed catalog indexes such as American Genealogical-Biographical Index, Greenlaw Index, Newberry Library's Genealogical Index
   
   
5. Serials & Microforms Services, 2^nd floor South Building:
   Michigan Census 1820-1920, County Histories of the Old Northwest: Michigan, newspapers

The works mentioned above are cited and discussed elsewhere in this guide, along with a sampling of other useful texts and documents, most of which are shelved in the same areas. The most comprehensive guide to all the library's holdings, however, is the library's computer catalog, MIRLYN.

MIRLYN, THE ONLINE CATALOG
The catalog contains millions of entries representing all of the individual libraries in the university library system as well as other campus libraries not part of the system, such as the Bentley Historical Library. MIRLYN terminals and handouts on their use are found on the second floor and in other locations. Inquire at the Information Desk about the possibility of searching MIRLYN from your home or office computer.

Cited works are most easily found by searching for the author or title. Browsing by keyword is easier than by subject heading since subjects must be typed exactly, separated by double dashes “--” in the prescribed locations. Only punctuation and capitalization are optional. For keyword searching, try some combination of words separated by AND, OR, NOT, ADJ (adjacent), or NEAR, and grouping terms in parentheses. The library provides several handouts on catalog searching, such as MIRLYN: k=keyword.

To find out what books the library has on a family or place, however, look for specific Library of Congress subject headings, such as BASSETT FAMILY or ROCKBRIDGE COUNTY, VA . Place names are subdivided by type of work, such as --GENEALOGY, --HISTORY, --BIBLIOGRAPHY . See Library of Congress Subject Headings [78] available in the Information and Reference Center for a comprehensive list.

In addition to personal and geographical names, these genealogical subject headings are particularly useful:

CHURCH RECORDS AND REGISTERS COURT RECORDS GENEALOGY HERALDRY INVENTORIES OF DECEDENTS' ESTATE

LAND GRANTS MARRIAGE LICENSES PROBATE RECORDS REGISTERS OF BIRTH, ETC. WILLS

Except for GENEALOGY, all of these subject headings are subdivided by place. GENEALOGY, may be a subject heading itself (used for general works and guides) or a subheading after place (UNITED STATES--GENEALOGY, MASSACHUSETTS--GENEALOGY).

All subject headings are not of the same vintage, and guidelines for their assignment have varied over the years. It would be wrong to imagine that all works on a specific subject have been given the same heading. For example, you would expect to find Records and Files of the Quarterly Courts of Essex County, Massachusetts under COURT RECORDS--ESSEX CO. MASS. or COURT RECORDS--MASSACHUSETTS--ESSEX CO., but the assigned heading is less specific: ESSEX CO., MASS.--HISTORY--COLONIAL PERIOD--SOURCES. When searching by subject, try to guess what broader heading may apply, not because of cataloguing guidelines but because broader headings are assigned when more than a few specific subjects are covered in the same book.

The --HISTORY--SOURCES subheading after a place name sometimes proves to be a good approach to finding genealogical material. Remember that general histories are followed by histories of specific time periods, so that --HISTORY--(PERIOD)--SOURCES is a necessary place to look as well:

--history --history--bibliography --history--centennial celebrations etc. --history--chronology --history--civil war 1861 1865 --history--colonial period --history--manuscripts --history--maps --history--periodicals --history--revolution 1775 1783

--history--social life and customs --history--societies --history--sources --history--war of 1812 --history--world war --history--1775 1865 --history--1865 1898 --history--1898 1957 --history--20th century --history local

For historical material on a particular locality, look under the name of the city or county. A history of Wethersfield, Connecticut can only be found by looking under WETHERSFIELD, CONN.--HISTORY, not under CONNECTICUT--HISTORY. A general history of Connecticut, however, may contain specific information about Wethersfield. But notice that when the name of a place is a subject subdivision (following REGISTERS OF BIRTHS, ETC., for example), a larger jurisdiction may be interposed. You must look under the subheading --ENGLAND--YORKSHIRE as well as under ----YORKSHIRE, ENG.

LIBRARIES AND ARCHIVES
While genealogical holdings at the Graduate Library are limited, the library provides many helpful resources for locating materials at other libraries and archives, such as the American Library Directory [11] and the Directory of Special Libraries and Information Centers [40] near the Information and Reference Center desk, the Directory of Archives and Manuscript Repositories [39] and The Archives: A Guide to the National Archives Field Branches [19] in the Reference Room.

To locate specific manuscripts, consult the National Union Catalog of Manuscript Collections [89] or the Union List of Manuscripts in Canadian Repositories [117]. A convenient way to find local and family histories in the Library of Congress is to consult United States Local Histories in the Library of Congress: A Bibliography [118] and Genealogies in the Library of Congress: A Bibliography [55]. All of these can be found in the Reference Room. Since 1950, a subject approach to books in the Library of Congress has been available through its Subject Catalog [108], located in the 2A North stacks. The subject headings under which titles are arranged in this publication are the same as those used in the MIRLYN catalog.

It is also possible to peruse printed copies of other library catalogs to obtain citations to pertinent works which may then be sought elsewhere. Located in the 2A North/East stacks are the New York Public Library’s Dictionary Catalog of the Research Libraries, 1911-1971 [37] which uses its own subject headings, the Newberry Library of Chicago’s Genealogical Index [52], and The Greenlaw Index of the New England Historic Genealogical Society [58] in Boston. British material can be found in the British National Bibliography Cumulated Subject Catalog [28] which has a subject approach as well. More recently, online catalogs are becoming increasingly available, offering up-to-date information about library holdings.

METHODOLOGY AND BIBLIOGRAPHY
To develop a systematic approach to genealogy and find what resources are recommended, try a general guide to the subject. The subject heading GENEALOGY, is used for these guides, most of which are located in the Reference Room.

The Source: A Guidebook of American Genealogy [106] discusses the panoply of records needed for family history research, and indicates where they may be found. Ancestry's Red Book: American State, County & Town Resources [17] lists the availability by state of varios background sources, archives, libraries, societies, periodicals, newspapers, manuscripts, maps, and records - vital, census, land, probate, court, tax, cemetery, church, military, and county. The Researcher's Guide to American Genealogy [103] is another valuable guide to a variety of sources. Searching for Your Ancestors [104] includes two valuable bibliographies, and provides addresses of state departments of vital statistics.

The subject subdivision --BIBLIOGRAPHY provides access to bibliographies associated with that subject. UNITED STATES--GENEALOGY--BIBLIOGRAPHY, for example, is one of the subject headings used for Filby's American and British Genealogy and Heraldry: A Selected List of Books [5].

FAMILY HISTORIES AND BIOGRAPHIES
To see if the library has a book about a particular family, look under the subject heading for that family name, such as WITTER FAMILY. American family histories are usually classified under CS 71. Although it is convenient to browse the ten shelves in this section (4^th floor South), some family histories are classified elsewhere and some works include more than one family.

The most complete catalog devoted solely to family histories is Genealogies in the Library of Congress: A Bibliography [55] and its supplements. A Complement to Genealogies in the Library of Congress: A Bibliography [32], in the same format and compiled by the same editor, lists genealogies in some other major American libraries. Both can be found in the Reference Room.

Two large indexes arranged by family name, the Newberry Library's Genealogical Index [52] and the New England Historic Genealogical Society's Greenlaw Index [58] both shelved in the 2A North/East stacks, do not limit themselves to books but cite family histories published in genealogical and historical journals as well. The DAR Library in Washington has issued a book catalog of its holdings: the first volume devoted to Family Histories and Genealogies [35] can also be found in 2A North/East.

Another important index to family histories (including journal and newspaper articles as well as books) is the American Genealogical-Biographical Index [9]. The library has the volumes for the first half of the alphabet (A - MA) in 2A North/East; a full set including updated volumes can be found in the Detroit Public Library's Burton Historical Collection. The American Biographical Archive [6] is an indexed collection of 400 U.S. and Canadian reference works from the 1700s to the early 1900s on microfiche. See also the Biography and Genealogy Master Index [24].

A final suggestion: biographers perform genealogical research in the preparation of their work, and sometimes share substantial amounts of it with their readers. Emily Ford's Notes on the Life of Noah Webster, for example, includes ancestral information for both Webster and his wife, Sarah Greenleaf. Chapters and sections of this nature are rarely ever indexed or given card catalog entries. Researchers must find this material through deduction, chance, or extrasensory perception.

LOCAL HISTORY: UNITED STATES
Historical works pertaining to individual states, counties, and cities of the United States are assigned numbers under the F classification and are shelved in the 5 South stacks. Printed documents, historical periodicals, and other valuable sources of genealogical information are included here. A range of numbers is given each state and each range is subdivided the same way as abstracted here for Michigan:

F561-F575: MICHIGAN F561   periodicals F564   gazetteers F565   collective biography and genealogy F566   general works, histories F572   regions, counties, etc., A-Z F574   cities, towns, etc., A-Z F575   elements in the population           (ethnic, religious, etc.)

F572.W3   Washtenaw County F574.A2    Ann Arbor

Historical periodicals are shelved first. For some states, these may be the best sources available here. If a thorough scan of the volumes of a state historical journal is not feasible, determine whether and where the work is indexed. Some publications issue cumulative indexes; many do not even index individual volumes. Numerous general and specialized periodical indexes exist, however, including those mentioned in the Family Histories and Biographies section of this guide.

Many state and regional historical publications are indexed in America: History and Life [3] and Writings on American History [124]. Since its beginning in 1905, the latter work has included sections on genealogy. To find where a currently published journal is indexed, consult The Serials Directory [105] in the Information and Reference Center or Ulrich's International Periodicals Directory [116] in the 2A North stacks.

General non-local United States historical material is classified under E, also shelved on 5 South. The DAR Lineage Book [36] is found here as are rosters of soldiers in American wars such as the 44-volume Record of Service of Michigan Volunteers in the Civil War, 1861-1865 [101].

LOCAL HISTORY: MICHIGAN
First, check the F561-F575 range of books on 5 South to see what the library has on Michigan history. The subject heading MICHIGAN--HISTORY will always lead you to this section, as will historical headings for Michigan counties and cities, but specific subject headings should also be tried as other locations are possible. Works about the history of transportation in Michigan, for instance, would not be found under the F classification but under E as are most military rosters.

Although many Michigan county histories and biographical compilations are found under F572, a more complete collection of these works exists on microfilm in County Histories of the Old Northwest, Series V: Michigan [34]. An index to this 88-reel collection is kept in Serials & Microforms Services.

LOCAL HISTORY: OTHER
Local histories for other countries are shelved on 4 and 5 South; western hemisphere countries under F and European, Asian, and African countries under D. For each country, as with the United States, general works are arranged first, followed by major political divisions (such as English counties) and each division has a general-to-local arrangement.

English local history is to be found under the classification DA 670. The great county historical and archaeological society publications, often the only printed sources for vital and other records, are here. Two important series of English records, however, are under the C's: The Publications of the Harleian Society [99] and the British Record Society's The Index Library [74].

The C classification accommodates several categories of materials aiding family history research. Collective biography, transcribed records, family histories, and heraldry for all countries may be found on these shelves.

VITAL AND OTHER RECORDS
Successful family research depends upon the finding and inspection of appropriate birth, marriage, and death records. American records for the past hundred years or so are usually kept in the courthouses of the counties of jurisdiction, and may be seen and copied there.

American libraries, even historical and genealogical ones, do not house original vital records, but may own those which have been copied and printed for distribution. The best way to search for printed vital records is to look under the subject heading REGISTERS OF BIRTH ETC--(PLACE) where transcriptions of courthouse registers can be found. The most ambitious series of such transcriptions are the Vital Records of [TOWN NAME], Massachusetts, to the Year 1850 [121] for over 85 Massachusetts towns published under the aegis of the New England Historic Genealogical Society. The library has most but not all of these, many stored at the Buhr Facility, which will be sent to the Graduate Library upon request at the Circulation Desk.

The Genealogical Society of Utah, affiliated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, is engaged in vital record microfilming projects around the world, and has already established a vast repository of these records in Salt Lake City. Other supporting genealogical and historical works are gathered there as well. In Serials & Microforms Services (2^nd floor South) you will find a microfilm catalog, over 200 reels. A printed series of Finding Aids to the Microfilmed Manuscript Collection of the Genealogical Society of Utah [48] is being published. The Graduate Library has only the volumes for England, France, Germany, Mexico, and New York State at this time.

The National Office of Vital Statistics issues Where to Write for Birth and Death Records and Where to Write for Marriage Records, parts A and B of the Public Health Service's Publication No. 630. Copies of these are held at the Public Health Library and at the Ann Arbor District Library and may be purchased from the Government Printing Office. The 1993 editions appear as Appendix F of The Source [106].

CENSUS RECORDS
The Graduate Library has copies of the decennial U.S. census of Michigan from 1820 through 1920 on microfilm in Serials and Microforms Services (FILM X1209), except for 1890 which was destroyed before it could be copied. For 1890, only the veterans' census exists. These are films of the final enumeration sheets, arranged by county and subdivided by township or city ward.

The library has alphabetical name indexes to the 1830, 1840, 1850, and 1870 Michigan census and to the Detroit and Wayne County part of the 1860 census. Later censuses are indexed by Soundex code. The Soundex guide and indexes are kept on top of the cabinet which contains the microfilm. Census indexes for specific states (Indiana 1820 and Virginia 1810, for example) may be found under subject headings such as INDIANA--CENSUS 1820.

The first U.S. census taken in 1790 was printed in 1907-08 as Heads of Families at the First Census of the United States Taken in the Year 1790 [71]. Twelve volumes cover Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Virginia. Heads of families are listed, with counts of household members in five categories.

To find out what state censuses have been taken, check State Census Records [107], a compiled list of all state census enumerations by state, giving the location of extant records and indexes. Pre-statehood censuses for Michigan are indexed in Michigan Censuses 1710-1830 Under the French, British, and Americans [85]. The Bentley Historical Library has Michigan state census records for Branch Co. (1854, 1874), Detroit (1827), Midland Co. (1854-1894), Oakland Co. (1845), and Washtenaw Co. (1827, 1834, 1845, 1884, 1894), and indexes for Michigan Territory (1827), Kalamazoo Co. (1837), St. Clair Co. (1845), and Washtenaw Co. (1894).

MAPS AND ATLASES
Migration and settlement are key elements in genealogy, both as catalysts for the location of records and as final products of family research. Maps and atlases provide convenient data for this study. Knowledge of the special topographic features of an area or town may contribute more to your understanding of family movement than any written work.

The Map Library, located on the 8^th floor of the South building, has a large and varied collection of maps and atlases, historical and current. Large scale topographical maps of the United States and Britain are there, as are excellent maps of other countries, numerous older road maps, and city maps. Map Library staff can assist researchers in finding appropriate cartographic materials. The collection is open on weekdays year-round from 10 AM to 5 PM, and on Sundays from 1-4 PM during the fall and winter terms only.

Atlas shelving in the Reference Room between the doors contains national and world atlases: here you can find the latest edition of the Rand McNally Commercial Atlas and Marketing Guide [100] which provides detailed state maps showing township boundaries and much demographic information. Andriot's Township Atlas of the United States [112], shelved in the Reference Room, features county outline maps with township boundaries and town locations and Paullin's Atlas of the Historical Geography of the United States [21] on 5 South graphically presents historical population, boundary, industrial, political, church, and military campaign information.

NEWSPAPERS AND PERIODICALS
Newspapers are not only a source for obituaries and other notices, but also for historical context. Even recent papers often publish articles of historical interest, especially around the time of centennial and other such celebrations. Over 200 newspapers are available in Serials and Microforms Services. Recent issues are kept for three months to three years or are available on microfilm or CD, as indicated above each case.

Back issues of most of these are kept permanently on microfilm, including the examples listed below, starting with the year indicated: Ann Arbor News (1909), Chicago Tribune (1870), Christian Science Monitor (1924), Detroit Free Press (1831), Detroit News (1873), The Guardian (Manchester, England, 1951), The London Times (1785), Michigan Chronicle (1943), Michigan Daily (University of Michigan, 1890), Los Angeles Times (1971), Le Monde (1944), New York Times (1851), Toronto Star (1994), Village Voice (1959), Wall Street Journal (1981), Washington Post (1877). Early Washtenaw County newspapers are also here, covering the period from 1829 to 1927. No longer published, back issues of the Detroit Times (1919-1933), New York Herald Tribune (1951-1966), New York Tribune (1889-1906), and Harper's Weekly (1850-1916, FILM 307), are available on microfilm as are Early English Newspapers (FILM X1287), Early American Newspapers [42], Michigan Newspapers on Microfilm [86], Early American Imprints [41], and American Periodicals, 1741-1900 [15].

There is a growing collection of post-1990 issues on CD, most of which are fully searchable: Atlanta Consitution, Boston Globe, Chicago Tribune, Christian Science Monitor, Dallas Morning News, Detroit News, Los Angeles Times, Newsday New York, Washington Post, and Pennsylvania Gazette (1728-1750).

Printed indexes to the following newspapers are located in the Reference Room, starting with the year indicated: Black Newspaper (1984), Chicago Tribune (1972), Christian Science Monitor (1945), Detroit News (1976), Manchester Guardian (1986), Los Angeles Times (1972), Le Monde (1988, some earlier), New York Times (1943, 1851-1942 are shelved in stacks), The London Times (1975), Washington Post (1971). On CD you can find the index to The London Times (1790-1905: CD-ROM GL X16, and 1906-1980: CD-ROM GL X19) and to the Ann Arbor News (1976-1984: MICRO F X236).

The National Newspaper Index (NNID) and access to the full text of its newspapers is available online through ProQuest Direct. The Academic Universe website provides full text for hundreds of news sources, fully indexed. Abstracts only are available on the Newspaper Abstracts website for 32 newspapers. These have replaced the NNID previously available through MIRLYN. See the library’s Newspaper Guide handout and recent postings for addresses.

Several directories and indexes are available to assist you in finding publications, such as American Newspapers, 1821-1936: A Union List [14], Checklist of American Eighteenth Century Newspapers in the Library of Congress [30], Chronological Tables of American Newspapers, 1690-1820 [31], History and Biography of American Newspapers [73], Newspapers in Microform [91], The Serials Directory [103], A Survey of American Genealogical Periodicals and Periodical Indexes [108], and Working Press of the Nation [122].

HERALDRY AND PEERAGE
Establishment of a family coat of arms was once the primary reason for conducting genealogical research. Few Americans have actually proven connection to European gentry and nobility, though; family historians are nowadays more likely to be fully occupied with work on the descendants of their immigrant forebears. The subject heading HERALDRY is subdivided by place. GENTRY and PEERAGE, however, are subdivisions of place.

Filby's American and British Genealogy and Heraldry [5] has lists of books on heraldry and of peerage volumes. The latter works contain pedigree information and are of great value to those who have proven or strongly suspect linkage to these families.

In Great Britain, family genealogies of the nobility and gentry began to be recorded at the national level during the reign of Richard III through heraldic visitations. This procedure is explained and documented in Sims' A Manual for the Genealogist, Topographer, Antiquary [82]. English peerage compilations (Burke’s, Debrett’s, and others) are classified under CS 420-421 along with equivalent publications for other countries both in the Reference Room and on 4 South.

FAMILY SURNAMES
The origins of surnames may seem relatively unimportant to those pursuing modern ancestors, but information gleaned from histories and dictionaries of names can point to localities where a name first flourished. Such works may also suggest variant spellings which should not be neglected in family surveys.

There are hundreds of catalog entries bearing the NAMES PERSONAL subject heading subdivided by place of origin. The subject heading NAMES PERSONAL--ENGLISH (--GERMAN, etc.) is for works about names of that linguistic origin; the subject heading NAMES, PERSONAL--ENGLAND (--GERMANY, etc.) is for names in that country. The distinction is fuzzy, requiring search in both parts.

Many of these name books are classified between CS 2300 and CT, and are found in stacks as well as the Reference Room. All likely books in this section should be reviewed, as no one scholar will have found all the names within his work's purview. Examples of name-origin books available in the Reference Room include A Dictionary of Surnames, American Surnames, New Dictionary of American Family Names, Jewish Family Names & Their Origins, A Dictionary of British Surnames, Surnames of Scotland, Surnames of Ireland, and Welsh Surnames.

GENEALOGY CHECKLIST
Works in this list not discussed elsewhere are annotated, unless their titles are sufficiently descriptive. An asterisk, "*", indicates the work was mentioned in the text above. Additional useful titles will be found in Filby's American and British Genealogy and Heraldry [5], and by searching the subdivision --BIBLIOGRAPHY under the appropriate subject headings.
