In the Main Branch of the Massanutten
Regional Library a special room is set aside for genealogy and local history
research. The Room holds primary and secondary resources related to the Rockingham
County area since settlement in the 1730’s. Some of the holdings contain
information on where settlers migrated from (often Pennsylvania) and where they
migrated to (often Ohio and Kentucky). The items in this Room must be used in
house. Copies of some of the books are on the circulation shelves and can be
checked-out.
The following outlines the topical arrangement of the
resources in the book sections for genealogical research. The information below
is indicative of the materials found in each section. As you enter the room, to
the far left and far right, are enclosed bookcases, some of which are locked. The
Research Librarian can help you if a resource from these cases is needed. Each
bookcase section is lettered starting with “A” being on the left-hand
side.
