Saturday Night Genealogy Fun-What's on Your Genealogy Bookshelf?

It's Saturday Night - 

time for more Genealogy Fun! 


Your mission, should you decide to accept it (cue the Mission Impossible music here) is to:

1)  Teresa at the Writing My Past blog wrote a post about her genealogy bookshelf, even showing photographs of the books on several of her shelves.  Linda Stufflebean thought this was a good SNGF topic, so here we are! 

2)  Tell us what books, or types of books are on your genealogy bookshelf/ves in your home.  Do you have a photo of them?  Are there specific books that you use more than others?

3)  Tell us about it in your own blog post, in a comment to this blog post, or in a post on Facebook. 
I have books in many places. The books that I most refer to are Evidence Explained and Research Like A Pro. There is a bookshelf above my work area, so I can easily grab a book if I need it.  These are a few of the many books I have.





  • Genealogy Standards 1 & 2 -The Board for Certification of Genealogists 
  • Master Genealogical Proof -Thomas W Jones
  • Getting Ready To Wrote Write Your Family History- Lynn Palermo
  • Evidence Explained- 3rd Edition- Elizabeth Shown Mills
  • Vestal (Images Of America)- Margaret Hadsell
  • Women of the Blue & Gray- Marianne Monson
  • The Foundling- Paul Fronczak
  • Shaking The Family Tree- Buzzy Jackson
  • The Family Guide to DNA Testing and Genetic Genealogy- Blaine Bettinger
  • How To Archive Family Photos- Denise May Levenick
I am currently reading The Family Tree Guide to DNA Testing and Genetic Genealogy-2nd Edition. What book(s) are you currently reading?

Like Randy Seaver, I have several books downloaded on my Mac. 

Thank you, Teresa and Linda, Stufflebean for the idea. 

Thanks for reading,

For two years, I put this blog on private as I’d no longer had the willpower to push out blog posts the way that I did six years ago. I write a little more about this in my blog post Why Do You Do… ?  Recently, I have revamped my blog. I have unpublished posts that didn’t reflect who I was then or who I am now, or those that felt too personal to share ‘out there’. I also removed posts I wrote  just for the sake of posting content and main taining an audience,   even when  inauthentic to me. It means more to me that others feel the value and quality of what I share rather than the quantity. I am not sure how often I will post, all I know is when the inspiration and curiosity strike, that’s when it will occur. My intention for this blog is to lead with more spontaneity than usual, structured content, along with transparency, authenticity, and vulnerability to whatever degree feels right. My inte...
