In addition to a wide variety of study guides, we also have how-to books for beginning genealogists of all ages. Beginner’s materials are shelved under the call number 929.1, and are found in the following collections in the Lee County Library System: 1. Adult Non-Fiction 2. Juvenile Non-Fiction 3. Genealogy Reference Books shelved in adult non-fiction and juvenile non-fiction can be checked out for four weeks. The study guide Beginning Genealogy Research Outline features a bibliography containing useful books for beginning genealogists. Those listed as genealogical reference are for in-house use only. Patrons may photocopy from our reference materials for a fee of $.10 per page. Our study guides have no copyright restrictions. Patrons may reproduce them or use them in whatever manner they wish. The intent of these study guides is to serve as basic guidelines. They are not substitutes for taking the time to read a periodical article or a book written by a professional subject specialist in the field of genealogy. Encountering brick walls at one time or another in genealogy is normal. Taking the time to read a book or article written by genealogy professionals or attending seminars given by a subject specialist in genealogy is the best long- term investment you can make to put yourself in the best position for success.

Martin Harris: the Kirtland Years, 18314870
Martin Harris: The Kirtland Years, 18314870 H. Michael Marquardt MARTIN HARRIS IS KNOWN for being a Book of Mormon scribe, witness, and financier. However, little is known about his activities while living in Kirtland, Ohio, for over thirty-five years. This article will present what is known about Harris during the Kirtland years. Included will be his re- lationship to other Restoration churches under the leadership of James J. Strang (including Harris's mission to England), William E. McLellin, and so forth. A brief background of Harris's life in New York will also be given to help understand his place in the early life of the church. NEW YORK SEEKER Martin Harris was born on 18 May 1783 at Eastown, New York. He was a well-established farmer of Palmyra, Ontario (later Wayne) County, New York. At the age of twenty-six, Harris married his cousin Lucy; he was nine years her senior. They had a family of four known children. He became a close associate of Joseph Smith, Jr., whom he assisted finan- cially, and he acted as a scribe to Smith.1 He also financed the publication of the Book of Mormon by mortgaging his farm. As an early convert of Mormonism, he was received into fellowship by baptism on the day the church was organized. Due to the time and resources spent on his new re- ligion, Harris became partially separated from his wife, Lucy. Orsamus Turner, a printer in New York, described Harris thusly: Martin Harris, was a farmer of Palmyra, the owner of a good farm, and an honest worthy citizen; but especially given to religious enthusiasm, new creeds, the more extravagant the better; a monomaniac, in fact.2 1.
