Last week was yet another hectic week at the Godfrey! With getting ready for tomorrow’s Irish Genealogy Luncheon, preparing for the annual appeal, and fixing computer problems there was never a slow moment. This new batch of genealogies and biographies finishes up the D and E sections and gets a good way into the Fs. […]
Forgive the late posting, but it’s been a busy weekend! With more books being added to the Scholar all the time as well as preparing for the first of what we hope will be a series of luncheon presentations, and getting ready for the annual appeal, it’s been a hectic time at the Godfrey! This […]
It’s been a busy week at the library! We’re doing out best to keep adding as many new books to the Scholar as possible while updating our existing content to meet our ever increasing quality standards. You may have noticed a few church records no longer have their indexes available, but don’t worry! We’re making […]
We apologize for the delay in posting this previous week: computer issues caused an unfortunate, but thankfully temporary, roadblock. So, last week we added a selection of exciting new genealogies and biographies to the Scholar+ Digital Library, including the autobiography of businessman and entertainer extraordinaire P.T. Barnum! We’ve gotten through the backlogged Bs and are […]

The funeral home business has gone through some dramatic changes over the years. For quite a while funeral homes as we know them today simply did not exist. Caskets were made at the local furniture store, viewings were held at the home of the deceased or deceased’s family, and funeral services were held at the […]
This week we’ve added more biographies and genealogies from our library of scanned books. About half the books added this week have to do with families or people with last names starting with A or B. Another volume of the Doolittle Funeral Home Burial Records is also on the Scholar and the indexing for the […]
If you’ve used the Godfrey Scholar in the last day or so you may have noticed that things are not as they once were. But do not fear! All of the books and records are still right where they are supposed to be: we’ve just made a few formatting improvements to make your research experience […]
This week we really dug into our backlog of scanned books to bring a huge number of biographies as well as some genealogies to the Scholar! You’ll notice that most of the books we’ve added focus on people whose last names start with an A: this is because we’ve started from the beginning of our […]
