Monnin Books and Media
The purpose of this page is to provide a bibliography of books and movies and
any other media that would be pertinent to the research and understanding of the
Monnin family. Note too that usually family histories are privately or
self published and are of short runs. If you are at all interested in purchasing
a recently published family history book, I would suggest buying them
immediately.
