Summary: A First Class Reference For All Genealogists
Comment: When I first began researching my genealogy in the 1980's, I made sure that I read all the
"how-to-do-it" books in print. I had quickly learned that I was becoming involved in something more
than looking at a census or filling out a chart. Learning from others with more experience helped
me develop my research skills and saved me from a lot of trial and error learning. As genealogy has
become one of the most popular pursuits, the need for guidance has grown, too. The number of those
"how-to" books has increased, but some offer more than others, especially since technology has come
to play such a large role in our research. This book fills a real need.

From beginning with
home resources to making use of all the technology available, George gives his readers 472 pages of
first class advice and information. The book is intensely readable, and the examples are clear and
to the point. Both the beginner and the advanced researcher will benefit from chapters on using the
Internet, locating advanced records, and following alternate paths to find the records you need.

One of the best features of the book is the chapter "Plan A Very Successful Genealogical
Research Trip". When spending the time, effort, and cash to get to a research locality, we want
to be as successful as possible. Planning is the key. George gives step-by-step directions to get
prepared and uses practical examples to illustrate just how to do this. I know I will be more
successful on my next trip because of things I learned here.
