Summary: Perspective of The Source: A Guidebook of American Genealogy (Third Edition)
Comment: The Source: A Guidebook Of American Genealogy (Third Edition) If you are at all seriously
interested in doing genealogical or family history research, this book should be in your library -
and should definitely not sit on the shelf. I've been studying, learning about and doing this kind
of research for seven years and in that period have read countless books, watched lots of videos,
worked through many tutorials and spent hours and hours looking for my ancestral and family
connections. I have found The Source to be absolutely the best repository of information about
where to find the sources, how to do the work, and - especially - how to use the Internet in this
work. Chapters are written by experts in the areas covered, the material is well written and the
editors have done an outstanding job of putting it all together in a way that makes sense and flows.
There is so much wisdom and information here I find myself taking notes as I read. Absolutely
great! A "must have" for serious genealogists - and for anyone really wanting to learn how to find
the people in their families who have gone before and left a legacy that helps define who we are.

Summary: Genealogy
Comment: This book is an excellent source for genealogical investigation.

My only complaint is
that it arrived slightly damaged (a crushed front cover corner).

Customer Rating:

Summary: A very useful book
Comment: This is a very good book. It has more information on more subjects and record sources than any other
book I know. It is generally very easy to understand and apply, but I found, when I used it to teach
a correspondence class on American research, that it was a bit overwhelming for the beginning
student. It is expensive, but its contents justify its price, and everyone who takes American
genealogical research seriously should own this book.

Customer Rating:

Summary: URGENT! **SHOP AROUND FOR PRICE!**
Comment: I got this book from a reseller, A1, via B&Ns site, for about 35 bucks. NO 'sourcing fee'. 4 bucks
shipping. There's no excuse for the price gouging from whomever is selling this via Amazon. Hope you
get to see this review! I searched on google with 'The Source, szucs, third' for the edition. I love
Amazon but this time they didn't get the best price.
