These online books are downloadable and can be saved, and printed as a PDF file. All of the books came from publishers and libraries.
"There are millions of public domain books that are extremely valuable and rare. Many of these books are extremely valuable to genealogists because of their historical personal data. They are not just English books. They are books from all over the world. We are including them in our global search results at WorldvitalRecords.com. We consider this a huge edition to our online collection," Lifferth said.

Connect to Ancestors with Information from Google Books
"I have a famous ancestor named Richard Pace who came from England in the 1500's. He was an English diplomat of the Tudor period. I was curious to see if I could find information for him at WorldVitalRecords.com. I did one search for him and found a lot of actual letters that he had written to various cardinals. I was fascinated by the information I found on him and felt a connection to him that I had never felt before. It was really exciting," said Brad Pace, VP Marketing, WorldVitalRecords.com.
