Remember Genealogical Publishing Company?

 


Now known as Genealogical.com, this genealogy-book-publishing company has been around for 65 years. I'll just bet you've ordered books more than once from GPC.

If you click to www.Genealogical.com, you'll be like the proverbial kid in a candy shop. So many books! TIP:  If you request their 35-page catalog (2022-2023), then you can browse, red pencil in hand, and start your own Wish List. 

Another TIP:  I find the catalog is handy especially when I begin to research in a new place for I can quickly find what are the major reference books for that place. TIP #2: take the catalog with you to Salt Lake or your favorite library. 

To show how "on the ball" this company is, one of their newest book offerings is Ukrainian Genealogy Research, by Vera Ivanova Miller. Published in 2021, cost is $10.95.  The description begins: "Because the borders of Ukraine shifted many times over the years, researching your Ukrainian ancestors can be challenging........ "

GPC offers How-To Books and Manuals, General Reference and Finding Aids, Heraldry and a long list of resource books for each state and many countries.  

Quoting an old TV commercial, I urge you "to try it, you'll like it!"  Whether Genealogical Publishing Company or Genealogical.com, genealogy BOOKS are their business.
