Many thanks to Jack McNatt for contributing this very useful bibliography. Some resources for locating the works listed below can be found on our libraries page.  --- December 1999.

The following is a bibliography of all the books, booklets and pamphlets pertaining to history or family genealogy that I could find with an emphasis on Washington County, Pennsylvania. I have found the following 75+ books but I am sure that there are more. 

If you know of or have a book that is not included here, please e-mail me at:  Grampy@tampabay.rr.com. Also, if you can provide missing details on any of the items listed please let me know. I know in some instances that there are other editions or author, publisher, etc. material that is missing. If you are familiar with a specific book perhaps you would like to write a brief description of the data to be found in it. This would help those that might want to use a book in their research. Finally, if you know where a book is available (ie. Library, or on the web etc.) please let me know.
