Using The King County Library
Eastside Genealogical Society has contributed time and money to build the Genealogy Reference Collection at Bellevue Regional Library. Our annual budget provides approximately $800 into this resource. You can access all the genealogy materials by using the library catalog at http://www.kcls.org
| 1. Reference books can be ordered through Inter-library Loan and you can use them at the library. Circulating books can be ordered for check out. |
| 2. Databases include Ancestry and Heritage Quest which provide census records and many more books. |
| 3. KCLS has an on-line guide which has one category for Genealogy. Sites like Ellis Island and Ships are on this page. |
| 4. Newspapers, magazines, and society newsletters are either in the stacks or in the Genealogy Vertical Files at Bellevue Regional Library. |
|
5. EGS partners with King County Library. Go to KCLS.org and search for “events” and “genealogy” to find classes and individual help with genealogy research. In-person and Zoom events are both available. |
