Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent Resource Guide Comment: While this book is a bit pricey, it is worth it. Took me awhile before I bought it but a great reference book for my library. Customer Rating: Summary: For serious researchers Comment: This book is loaded with facts. If a researcher needs information from several states to track down an ancestor, this book has it all. The book is organized by state and gives the sources in each state for specific local records. One of the most useful features is its bibliographic reference on background sources for more detailed information on individual states. Casual researchers who need information from only one state would probably find this book to be "too much information". Customer Rating: Summary: Must have for genealogists Comment: This is a book I keep at my fingertips. When I need to research a state I am not familiar with this is my first stop. It has maps and provides an outline of all the resources available. I only wish they went one level deeper and provided information on when towns were incorporated.
