Created by the staff of The Genealogy Center at the Allen County Public Library, the Periodical Source Index (PERSI) is the premier subject index for genealogy and local history periodicals. Containing over 3.1 million citations to readily available periodical sources, PERSI is a valuable tool to help you find your family’s story.
