MGRC Books We Own

Mayerthorpe Genealogy Resource Center's Book & Resource list is at the bottom of this page, scroll down to view.

Genealogy enthusiasts worldwide have a loosely run network of resources called *Books We Own*. Our members and library have a fabulous collection, if you are willing to help with look ups, please consider volunteering for BWO.

Books We Own is a list of resources owned/accessed by individuals who are willing to look up genealogical information and e-mail or snail mail it to others who request it.

This is a free service - volunteers may ask for reimbursement of copies and postage if information is provided via snail-mail.

The project began in 1996 as a way for members of the ROOTS-L mailing list to share their resources with one another.

Today, there are over 1500 volunteers.
