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 &
