Cemetery and burial records

United States Civil War and other military records

Family Bibles, church histories, and records

General genealogical resources, such as directories, handbooks, and magazines

Indexes of births, marriages, deaths, wills, and obituaries

In addition to library resources, WorldCat.org also connects you to millions of records from FamilySearch, a nonprofit family history organization with the largest collection of genealogical and historic records in the world.
