Contains a lot of helpful common sense tips that will prevent future headaches. A lot of well
thought out suggestions and tips too.

I especially like how when they suggest you talk to your
extended family and interview them for genealogy information that you be patient with them and let
them tell their stories. A lot of well-mannered tips like these are what elevate this book to
excellence.

A lot of the confusing aspects of genealogical research such as document requests and
providing proof and evidence are well covered.

I highly recommend this book for the beginner to
intermediate level genealogist.
