Bound Research Materials
The bound research materials are from binders and folders that were in the Concordia library of research done by individuals. A team of volunteers at the FSL went through each binder or folder page-by-page to determine whether its inclusion was appropriate. FamilySearch has made these records available to researchers by binding each set and putting the bound volume on the shelf of the FSL with a call number. These volumes represent hundreds, if not thousands, of hours of research and can be found nowhere else besides the FSL.
Volunteers have added surnames found in the Bound Materials to this page. This means that you can search for the very book that includes the family names that you are interested in without having to search in the book to see if your family is there.
To search this page, follow these instructions:
If you are on a PC, press Control and F at the same time. Then type your name in the search box that appears. All instances of that name will be highlighted and you can scroll down the page to see them.
If you are on a MAC, press Command and F at the same time. Then type your name in the search box that appears. All instances of that name will be highlighted and you can scroll down the page to see them.
