Some are books that have not yet arrived at the OPL, an example being Drew Smith's book at the top of the list.
Thomas MacEntee is the only author with two books in the list.
The top seven are how to books without reference to a particular location.

The list intrigues me, as the number of holds indicate these books circulate, even though some appear to be Reference Texts. So I passed the list on to my colleague where I was worked at my Public Library. They can try to parse it, and also see how many general genealogy books OPL has.
