Community genealogies list families of a specific place. May provide source citations or copies of documents. Many are indexed.

Accessibility: May be difficult to find. Many in archives are not cataloged. Some can be acquired through interlibrary loan, through local research agents, through filming by other libraries, or by purchase.
