Yesterday
I posted a table of some of my immigrant ancestors. To make the table
complete before I posted it, I had to look up a couple of items. So
naturally, I Googled (the name) to America and the date.
One
of the hits was to a page in a fairly recent book about early
settlers in New Jersey. It included more of my ancestors, so I looked
to see if there was an online version. No such luck, just a few
preview pages. A link was provided to World Cat and I discovered that
the nearest library listed there was hundreds of miles away.
But,
there were links to some booksellers. I checked Amazon.com first and
their price was higher than I would pay. But Lulu.com had a more
reasonable price, so I yielded to the temptation and within a few
weeks a new book should arrive in my mailbox.
Maybe
it will help me in writing future blog posts. I'll try to let you
know.
