Our society's Librarian, Barry Allison, will give us an introduction to the genealogy holdings in the Round Rock Library. He will also help us understand how to approach researching in the holdings. For example, did you know we have a copy of Persons of Quality? This contains the original lists of persons of quality: emigrants; religious exiles; political rebels; serving men sold for a term of years; apprentices; children stolen; maidens pressed; and others who went from Great Britain to the American plantations from 1600 to 1700.
There are many other useful holdings. For example, are you familiar with the book, They Came in Ships? There are how to books, any many state specific references. Come and learn what the Library and our Society have put together over the years that make our library one of the best genealogical sources in our area.
