52 Weeks to Better Genealogy: Week 2

Here it is -- your genealogy challenge for Week 2.

This week, visit your public library again (we are having better weather this week, so if you couldn't get out last week, here's a chance to catch up and do both weeks 1 and 2 challenges). This time, your assignment is to examine the local history, archives, or special collection sections. Hint: At the Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library, many of these materials would be found in the Topeka Room.
You might also want to check out the reference section, and see if you find any local history or genealogical resources there.

Let us know what you find, by commenting on this post.
