“LDS Genealogy Books Online: Part 1”
Donald R. Snow
3/8/22
Categories: LDS, IR
Talk Abstract:
There are many genealogy books with LDS genealogy (members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) and many are online and can be used or downloaded in pdf for free. Examples are Pioneers and Prominent Men of Utah, Church Chronology by Andrew Jenson, the Scandinavian Jubilee Album, and Leo J. Muir’s A Century of Mormon Activity in California. This class will discuss where these and others are and how to use them. Other classes will discuss additional books. The notes and related articles, all with active internet links, are on my website https://uvtagg.org/classes/dons/dons-classes.html.
