Denver Public Library (DPL) has a number of databases which offer valuable genealogical information. For a handy way of searching all of them at once, try this Google search technique. Type the following into the Google search box:

   SURNAME site:denverlibrary.org inurl:gene|genealogy

Here’s an explanation of the various parts of the above search:

  • SURNAME
    Here you’ll substitute your own surname, or you can use any other word.
  • site:denverlibrary.org
    This restricts your search to files found on the DPL site.
  • inurl:gene|genealogy
    This restricts your search to files found in the “gene” or “genealogy” folders on DPL’s Web site (which will cover just about all of the genealogical databases).
