style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" color=#000000 size=2 face=Arial>On a
trip to Kansas City this last fall I had the opportunity to again<BR>visit the
Mid-Continent Genealogical Library. It is overwhelming as
I<BR>never have the couple of weeks to spend there that it
deserves.<BR><BR>This trip I came across the Dewey Decimal System for
genealogical data. <BR>Each state has its’ own number, each county, then at
least each city. I<BR>suspect non-city regions also but did not pursue
that. Anyway, the<BR>example sheets I got were, naturally enough, for
the state of Kansas.<BR><BR>Therein lies my question: Does anyone know
if there is a site online, or<BR>available elsewhere, that might have an index
to the WHOLE genealogical<BR>system for the United States?<BR><BR>We have been
cataloging our books with Dewey for many years, but only by<BR>general subject
as that is the only index we have had. I can just imagine<BR>how much
more valuable the resources would be cataloged correctly.<BR><BR>Now I
understand this might be old hat to some, but it’s new to
us!!<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>Fred &
