Family Surnames and Topics Research Files were created by volunteer Library staff members in response to patron requests for research assistance on a specific family surname or topic. Contents of files vary widely, depending on what was found in the research process. A list (presently covering filenames beginning A-N) of the FAMILY SURNAMES and TOPICS in our files at this time can be viewed by clicking on the PDF link at the bottom of the Collection Details page, under "Additional Collection Guides."

More than 100 files.

The Library can only claim physical ownership of the collection. Users are responsible for satisfying any claimants of literary property.

Collections are self-service, open to the public. Volunteer library staff are available to check a Family Surname file for specific types of information if you contact us by phone or email.
