Librarian links to digitized genealogy books
By SHARON TATE MOODY

Help me! I'm out here in the Internet, and I can't stop reading old digitized books.

My misadventure began when blogger Dick Eastman recently told his readers about a retired Clarkston, Mich., librarian who wanted to help folks find genealogy books. I learned that Mollie Lynch created Genealogy Book Links (GenealogyBookLinks.com) as a single resource for the many genealogy and history books that have been digitized and uploaded to the Internet.

I have long been a fan of Google Books. I've found delightful clues and evidence in the digital pages available at that source. I quickly saw that Lynch's work also opens the door to sites that I might not discover otherwise. It now is a welcome addition to my bag of tricks.

The website is straightforward and easy to use. I gave it a whirl by selecting "North Carolina" from the list of states. "The Colonial Records of North Carolina" caught my eye, so I clicked on the link to volume one and found myself at the website of the University of Pittsburg Library System.

Am stuck and know I know the REAL work begins! Most will probably be pointless tree wise, but I will still learn something, no?
