New Books Gifted to the Dallas Public Library
By Suzan Younger
Start your new to-do list! Generous DGS members funded an end-of-year holiday gift of three books to the Genealogy division in the Dallas Central Library. Be sure to check out the following books once the library opens. The books will certainly complement the lectures that David Allen Lambert offers at the DGS 2021 Fall Seminar on colonial research.
- Early New England Families 1641-1700, Vol. 2 by Alicia Crane Williams
- The Mayflower 500: Five Hundred Notable Descendants of the Founding Families of the Mayflower by Gary Boyd Roberts
- The Mayflower Migration: Immigrants to Plymouth, 1620 by Robert Charles Anderson
Attendees at the Tony Burroughs 2020 Fall Seminar enjoyed the “Lunch and Learn” session presented by Ari Wilkins. As a thank you for Ari’s presentation, DGS purchased twelve books Ari chose for the genealogy collection. Add these to your research plans!
