  Success with Google Books
A reader reported a great success with Google Books after issue 26 which discussed some search strategies and results I had with Google Books. I'll post her email here after I get the ok from her. If anyone else wants to share their Google Books experiences, let me know, or just post it as a comment.

Down the road, I'll be analyzing some of the items I found in Google Books and hope to have even more information and ideas to discuss.
 
Comments:
I had searched Google Books before with not much luck. After your article on the subject, I decided to give it another try. I entered the name of a gr-gr-grandfather thinking he would never appear in any book. Well, imagine my surprise when I found a Georgia Supreme Court case regarding an alimony dispute with wife #2 (out of 4, possibly 5; he is one of my more "interesting" ancestors!]. A great find. Thanks.

p.s. I do not know what the "select profile" means so I just picked one.

I write "Casefile Clues" a weekly genealogy newsletter focusing on genealogy research methodology and interpretation. Every week I look at a record or a problem from one of the many families of my children scattered across the US and Europe. "Casefile Clues" does not try to "scoop" the latest news, rather I focus on using and interpreting records. My goal is to give you ideas to help you with your own research. Since 1995, I have written over 600 genealogy columns for both Ancestry and Eastman's Online Newsletter. My new columns for Casfile Clues are distributed only through this site.
