Family History Books ~ Handed Down

 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks 2022: Week 41 (PASSED DOWN)

My favourite genealogy hand-me-down is the book I received from a newly found cousin. 

The book is called OUR COURAGEOUS PIONEERS:  History of Gronlid and Surrounding Districts of Argus, Athol, Edenbridge, Freedom, Maryville, Murphy Creek, Sandhill Creek, Taelman, Taras, Teddington. It's written by Gronlid and District Historical Society .

The first time I got a look at this book was via an interlibrary loan. I had the book in my possession for 2 weeks. It was just enough time to decide I really needed to own this book. There was no copies available from any traditional source. It was many years before I would be able to call a copy my own. All because a new cousin gifted it to me. 

I then realized I have been gifted quite a few family history books.
