Back to A Genealogist's Guide to Discovering Your Female Ancestors : Special Strategies for Uncovering Hard-To-Find Information About Your Female Lineage Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Females Surnames are no longer unknown Comment: This book gave me several more routes to check for my unknown female ancestors. I liked the listing of various search methods and the reasoning to reach a particular conclusion. It was very helpful, which will help me better analyze the information that I do have. The bibliography is wonderful, it covers a lot of different ethnic groups for those of us not researching European ancestors. This is a great resource. Customer Rating: Summary: Informative and helpful Comment: This book does a good job of covering the difficulty of researching a female ancestor. One is reminded of how centuries of prejudice and the treatment of women as 2nd class citizens, will impact one's research. For example, at one time if a female American citizen married a non-citizen, she lost her American citizenship. Thus to find information on her, one may need to look at citizenship applications. Well written and an easy read, with plenty of tips on how to get past the stone wall. Highly recommended. Customer Rating: Summary: A Genealogist's Guide to Discovering Your Female Ancestors Comment: I have this book, find it very helpful and amazingly easy to put into action. I would highly recommend it's use for a researcher looking for that "mystery" woman in the family. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent coverage of subject Comment: Unfortunately, author covers American genealogy only.. a similar book needed for European women.
