Books We Own - Washington
Books We Own - Washington is our State's contribution to the RootsWeb Books We Own Project. It is a list of resources owned and accessed by individuals who are willing to look up genealogical information and e-mail or snail mail it to others who request it. This is a free service - volunteers may ask for reimbursement of copies and postage if information is provided via snail-mail. The project began in 1996 as a way for members of the ROOTS-L mailing list to share their resources with one another. Today, there are over 1500 volunteers.
Volunteers are needed. If you have a resource and are will to do look-ups please go to the Books We Own Contributors Page. Take time to give something back to our genealogical community.
