1. Before we check Ancestry (which requires a log in for the user to see the book), double check this website to make sure you found all the possible county books that are available online to free websites.
2. Go to the [http://www.learnwebskills.com/family/countyhistories1.htm Learnwebskills website] and click on the state you are working on.
3. Review the list to see if any additional books need to be added for your specific county. We will not be listing any of the histories for just the state - only county histories.
4. If you find an additional website that lists the county history, use the directions to create the url using directions under Google books.  Replace Google Books with the name of the website.

'''NOTE:''' There may be some links for the online books on other websites.  We would like to put these websites first as they are large websites and more reliable. If you only have 1 or 2 links and the above websites don't have the book, feel free to adjust the instructions above and add them to the book entry.<br>
