Parting With Geneaolgy Books

As I've accumulated books about family history research, compiling family history, and writing family stories, I haven't purchased duplicates, but realize I have some I probably won't use, or which I've gone beyond.

It's always difficult for a book lover to part with books, but these, plus the many others my family and I own (6 children and adults) have begun to overwhelm the house and a storage area.

Craig's List

So we've begun listing those we can part with on Craig's List. We also make them available at our yard sales in summer, but that's sort of impractical during winter in NH. It's gratifying when people contact us about our books and are thrilled to find some they're looking for or with which to expand their knowledge and enjoyment.

So I culled out some of my family history and genealogy books....probably will find more as I investigate all nooks and crannies of our abode.
