Family Histories

Body

CGSI has a collection of over 300 family histories that have been donated to the physical library holdings from the early 1990's until the present time. To provide our current members the opportunity to view these works, we have undertaken the project of scanning and creating ebooks that are posted within this website's Digital Library page.

Every effort has been made to contact the original authors or their descendants to gain direct permission to post these books in our Digital Library which is viewed as an extension of our physical library where they reside. In some cases we are not able to locate the author or their descendants. We have erred on side that if the author contributed this work to our library they would want it to be viewed by our members. If you are a descendant or know the whereabouts of a descendant we would appreciate your assistance in helping us make contact to ensure compliance to the author's wishes.

If you would like to donate your family history, we will include it in this collection. Please contact us at info@cgsi.org.

Family Stories: Barosko	James Barosko	1996	"This oral history is designed to provide more than mere genealogical information. Folksingers wrote and performed folk songs both to preserve and teach their customs and history-their culture-to the people. In the same fashion, it is my hope that these stories become the first strands of a quilt of Barosko "folk-stories" which can be passed down to our children and grandchildren, with each generation adding stories of our 'customs' and events to those already here. This, then, is the hopeful beginning of a family tradition. My thanks to the many people who contributed directly and indirectly to this volume." - James Barosko, December, 1996	Barosko
