CARBON CO., UTAH UTGenWeb

Book Indexes

I have been doing this webpage and learning about Carbon County history now since January of 1997. Since that time I have acquired many articles, journals, books and information about the people and places. It is impossible for me to remember all the names contained in the articles and books. My brain is on overload. My goal is to add indexes of the books so you can search on this website and find if there is information in these books about your ancestors. If you find your ancestors included on these indexes please e-mail me with the name, the name of the book and the page number and I'll let you know what it says. My e-mail address is khamaker@emerytelcom.net.

If you would submit an index from a book I would be happy to add it. If I don't have the book or access to it then I must request that you make yourself available for look-ups. Please e-mail me if you would like to help with this project. Thank you.
