genealogy books mentioning my family members

In my Dec 31, 2012 post (an 1850 census, an obit transcription, family notes, cemetery listings, & Google Books), I mentioned using Google Books for genealogy. I had been at Grandma Virginia's & had gotten ahold of some wonderful papers, which I scanned.

Something [that] I was able to copy were images from a book that seemed to be titled History of Marion County and Representative Citizens. It included the names and information on some of my ancestors & relatives: the Kaelbers.

 

I just did a Google search for History of Marion County and Representative Citizens. I was able to see that the true name of this book was History of Marion County, Ohio, and Representative Citizens ....

 

 I have since discovered another book using Google Books: Peter and Elisabeth (Graber) Kaufman family record, 1770-1987 by the Kaufman Genealogy Committee (1988). What is so neat about Google Books is the "from inside the book" feature. I was able to see myself, my sister, & my parents names! We're in a published book! (Also listed are Dyck & Schrag names which I know are part of my family tree.)

 

I will have to get a copy of this book to assist me in making my family tree!

USGenWeb & Menno Mennonite Cemetary

I have spent the past few hours organizing my newspaper "to research" list,

which has included typing a list of articles that I wish to scan

& searching (via Google) for as many articles as I can online.
As I was doing this, I [repeatedly] came across the USGenWeb Archives.

The two specific links that I will be using in the future are:
usgwarchives.net/wa/wafiles.htm &
www.wagenweb.org.

One thing that I just came across was

Menno Mennonite Cemetery,

(also known as Schrag Cemetery)

Ritzville, Adams County, Washington.

The information here is credited to Marge Womach.

You will notice that I included the "Whiteside" name in tags.
This is because the name is mentioned,
not because there is a Whiteside buried at the Menno Mennonite Cemetery.
