A library you will be at has a copy of a family genealogy that you have already seen. Do you need to see another copy? The answer is “maybe.” A library’s copy of a family genealogy may have been donated by the original owner of the book and that owner may have added comments, corrections, or additions to their copy of the book. These writings won’t appear in other copies or even a copy you have found available online digitally.  If you have easy access to another copy of the book, it may be worth your while to take a look. You never know what you may find written inside.  The example image does not include anything earth shattering, but you never know until you look. ​
