There has been many time my brother 9 years senior will call with a question such as didn't the Montgomery's live in the next block, what was name of store at the corner of _____, what was the addresses of our grandparents when they lived on Pulaski.

Madigan's Books was established in 1985 and is a mail order book business dealing only in books of genealogical interest. The books we carry will vary from rare antiquarian books to used copies of books still in print. We usually have only one copy of a book in stock and we do not limit our stock to any one geographical area. As one would expect we carry census, vital and courthouse records, county, town and family histories, directories and plat books. Also you may find listed town view or promotional booklets, Congressional records, Church records, military records or society quarterlies. The books we stock are based on over 30 years of doing genealogical research. If a book has information which will help to extend a family lineage or flesh out the history of an ancestor I will add it to stock.
If you are interested in books of genealogical interest examine the Ebay Store of Madigan's Books to view other genealogy and local history books & CDs.
