Today I got the Peck family blog up and running... with a link to a book published in 1868 (as I remember). Really interesting stuff. Here comes another plug for http://www.archive.org/... Many of these older books are now part of the public domain and have been scanned and uploaded for everyone to use (sometimes there are multiple copies uploaded). You can read the books in all kinds of formats - including saving the book as a pdf for your own computer.
Visit http://www.archive.org/ and then search for a city or a person (perferably from a long time ago)... and who knows what you might find! For the one I linked to on the Peck blog all I did was search for Joseph Peck, my ancestor that came from England in 1638.
