Thanks so much to Amberly (Genealogy Girl) for including Kin Types in her post today!
I have loved books for as long as I can remember. I probably even loved them before that. When I was a teenager there was a certain book I checked out from the library several times. I loved it so much that I asked my mom if I could say that I “lost it” and pay the lost book fee so I could keep it. I was only joking. Mostly. You see, it was out of print and I really wanted my own copy.
That is definitely not the only time I have longed for an out of print book.
A few years ago I solved a long-standing brick wall using indirect evidence. It was a lot of work. I was nervous to call my conclusion solid. The whole concept of indirect evidence was new to me. I didn’t even know that phrase until well after I had drawn my conclusions.

The Family Kalamazoo 
I recently found an out of print book too. It has the family history of my family from Colorado. This summer my cousin showed me her copy, and i searched and searched. I did find copies on Amazon for $150.00 and up, but I wasn’t willing to pay that much. Every now and then I would do random searches until one day I found the book for $5.00 + shipping and handling! Now, it’s one of my treasures.
Oh, wow! It shows what persistence can do in this age of Google! What a wonderful treasure!
