Eventually, every genealogist will need to visit a library or archive in search of records not available at home or from relatives. The place to start is with your own local library! Find the main libraries in your town or region and become familiar with their historical and genealogical sections. You´ll be amazed at how much information even the smallest local library has or can obtain via interlibrary lending.
