Writing in the FamilySearch blog, Nathan W. Murphy reports that nearly 1,200 digital family history books were uploaded to Family History Books during the month of July (which apparently is the last month for which statistics are available). These books are now accessible to everyone for free at Family History Books.
In addition to 700+ family genealogies, several printed English parish registers, dozens of Texas and Missouri local histories, issues of the periodical Pilgrim Notes and Queries, Michigan military records, marriage abstracts from several Kentucky counties, 5 volumes of the Adjutant General of Illinois records from the Civil War, and Latin for Local History: An Introduction, as well as many other titles were all digitized in July.
