We have a growing collection of Family papers and Family histories. Family papers are a collection of loose leaf papers organized by surname. These may include 1 or 2 sheets of paper or several packets. Contents may include research notes, family group sheets, pedigree charts, wills, copies of census records or obituaries, and much more. Staff do not have the time to keep families with the same surnames grouped together. It is the responsibility of the researcher to sort through the papers and determine which copies go with which families.
