In this section I sort items by type with some details to give more insight to each item.
Genealogy Themed Books
This family tree book from Peter Pauper Press is 104 pages of fillable content to save your family details and special memories! It is a hard cover book that covers many of the milestones and important topics for writing out your ancestor’s stories.
This book is perfect for the professional family tree researcher in your life! From the Board for Certification of Genealogists, this 108 page, soft cover book goes in-depth on the correct processes for researching and properly sourcing any information found.
Cemetery Resources
These two cemetery books I have read and find very useful when searching for an ancestors headstone at a cemetery in person or online.
They provide information regarding locating memorials and what the symbols engraved, and materials of the headstones can tell you.
