Some of the most valuable sources for family history research are local histories. Published histories of towns, counties, and states usually contain accounts of families. They describe the settlement of the area and the founding of churches, schools, and businesses. You can also find lists of pioneers, soldiers, and civil officials. Even if your ancestor is not listed, information on other relatives may be included that will provide important clues for locating your ancestor. A local history may also suggest other records to search. Local histories are extensively collected by the [[Family History Library|Family History Library]], public and university libraries, and state and local historical societies. The "[[United States History|United States History]]" page cites nationwide bibliographies of local histories which include histories of Nevada.

Good genealogists strive to understand the life and times of their ancestors. In this sense, any history is useful.

The sketches usually tend toward the laudatory, but may include some genealogical details. If these histories are indexed or alphabetical, check for an ancestor's name. Some examples for the State of Nevada are: | Good genealogists strive to understand the life and times of their ancestors. In this sense, any history is useful.
