WorldCat.org
Looking for an obscure or just elusive genealogical work? Try WorldCat, the worlds largest library catalog. Used the advanced search to specify titles, authors, keywords, etc. If your book is in a Florida library, contact us- we may be able to get it for you. If not, try going to the holding library's website. Find out if they will make copies of relevant pages. Most large universities and public libraries have a genealogy department- you can contact them by phone, or in some cases via chat.
