contents	Cultivating Your Family Tree Kaplan, Paul Genealogy Library Services Web Sites Reference Materials Library Materials Once the pristine pastime of blue bloods tracing their pedigrees back to the "Mayflower," genealogy--from hobby to serious endeavor--has broadened and deepened into a democratic avocation. It was Alex Haley's "Roots," published 30 years ago, with the hugely popular TV miniseries coming a year later, that likely started the boom. Television still plays a role in promoting the appeal: a 2006 PBS series "African American Lives" illuminated scientific advances in genealogical research. The democratization of the hobby applies to end users and ancestors alike. A small budget does not mean that a library's genealogical collection cannot be up-to-date. There are core resources that are ideal for getting patrons started, and there are materials that offer goodies both to starters and seasoned researchers. This article offers a selection of titles to elicit research excitement and a web exclusive Genealogical Periodicals list.
