'''Finding published family histories.''' Family histories are books that give genealogical information about one or more generations of a particular family. These books are often very well-researched and a great resource for finding family information. Some family histories have been poorly researched and documented, however. You should verify that the information you find in published family histories is accurate and documented. | '''Finding published family histories.'''

You can often find family histories in libraries in the area where your ancestors lived. The Library of Congress and the Family History Library also have extensive collections of published family histories. | You can often find family histories in libraries in the area where your ancestors lived.
