The catalog, updated regularly, is on the Internet at FamilySearch Library Catalog. You may search the catalog by surname (for family histories), place (for record types), subject (such as Navajo Indians), or author or title (if known). The record types listed in [[Choose a Record Type#Sources_Useful_to_Genealogists]] are mostly the same as the headings used in the Place Search of the catalog. | The catalog, updated regularly, is on the Internet at FamilySearch Library Catalog.
