=== Obtaining Periodicals ===
Copies of periodicals are available from the local societies that publish them. Major archives with genealogical collections will have copies of many periodicals, particularly those representing the area they serve. The Periodical Source Index, or PERSI, is the largest subject index to genealogy and local history periodical articles in the world. PERSI is available online and is especially useful because it refers to countless items published in thousands of family history periodicals worldwide. Search PERSI:<br>
*'''[https://www.genealogycenter.info/persi/ PERiodical Source Index (PERSI)]''' at Allen County Public Library; index; More information: [[Periodical Source Index (PERSI)|Periodical Source Index (PERSI)]]<br>
Once you locate an article in a periodical, check the [https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog FamilySearch Catalog] and regional or local libraries for available copies.
