Family Envelopes - Revised April 2018
Represented are notes and information submitted by many other researchers and often undocumented. Some family envelopes may contain full or partial copies of material used to document research. They may also contain family sheets and undocumented trees handwritten or printed. We consider this material of value, given the time frames in which this material may have been submitted, often 20 - 30 years past. Some researchers may point to out of print books and contain passages from these past treasures. Hints and direction can often be found in review.
Family Histories
Represented are family histories on file in the Genealogy Section of the Westminster Branch, Carroll
County Public Library. They represent more than 40 years of donations by the authors or compilers.
Some are in book form; others are unbound manuscripts. They are single copies – not for sale – for
use in the library only. They may not be checked out or borrowed on interlibrary loan. Please consult
with CCGS to assure availability if you are looking for one of these histories. Upon request, we will
attempt to find addresses of the authors in case you wish to inquire about purchasing a copy from them.
