Gen-Room Books and Article Listings

Revised Thursday, February 28, 2008 [Updated Listing]

 

 These books and documents form the bulk of the research articles available within the YGF Library room in the Parmly Billings Library. They are available for research at any time the public library is open. None of the documents may be borrowed, although copies of selected materials can be copied on the library's copy machines in the adjacent rooms. After use, the books and documents are to be placed onto a RED HOLD shelf within the room for future re-filing. The Code Identification on these books follows the LDS numbering system incorporated at Salt Lake City, Utah, and matches that used within the local Family History Centers throughout the United States. There is also a card file index available within the room.

The listings are sorted by the ID Call Number, and generally group the type of documentation into sections, such as biographies or genealogical families, states, census records, and the like. However, there are many overlapping areas, and it is advisable to scan the entire listing and make a note of the documents or books to be examined before going to the library. It will save you a lot of time, and will pinpoint the selections in a logical manner, making your research a fun task.

Note: For R.L. Polk City Directories specific information, E-mail the web master Cleve Kimmel and he will look up the information and send it back to you at no cost. Image copies via email will be provided of the page(s) if desired.  The Yellowstone County records are fairly complete; other cities in local area (Carbon County, Stillwater, etc., ) are random selections, but mostly in the 1905-1916 time frame.
