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

It's Saturday Night -

time for more Genealogy Fun!

Here is Randy’s assignment tonight from Genea-Musing.  Our mission 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 genealogy books on several different bookcases in my home. The ones I use most often are next to my desk. Others are placed based on their size, though I have most of my German genealogy books together. Actually my books get moved around often as I always take books to share when I teach genealogy classes.

Important books on my shelf are:

• Evidence Explained by Elizabeth Shown Mills
• Genealogy Standards by Board for the Certification of Genealogists
• Chicago Manual of Style
• Mastering Genealogical Documentation by Thomas W. Jones.
• Mastering Genealogical Proof by Thomas W, Jones.
• Professional Genealogy: Preparation Practice & Standards, ed. by Elizabeth Shown Mills
• North Carolina Research by Helen Leary

Some new books I have on my shelf include:

• How to Find Your Family History in U.S. Church Records by Sunny Jane Morton and Harold A. Henderson
• Your DNA Guide the Book by Diahan Southard
• Creating Family Archives by Margot Note

Here is a photo of the books from my Library Thing account showing those books I’ve tagged as genealogy. I think I need to add a few more.
