A large number of valuable websites are discussed, both private and governmental. This book will help you a lot with your family tree. Customer Rating: Summary: Online up to date?

Customer Rating: Summary: Good & Bad points.. Comment: Not so suprising that there's such disparity in the reviews of this book. Especially since most every review I read so far was true. This book is good if: you are a genealogist NEW to the net. A lot of ground is covered, in terms of what kinds of software is needed (over an above the venerable genealogical database), as well as how to act/speak/do online. This book is bad if: you've been online for more than a week. Too much ground is covered... well... look at the paragraph above... :) I've found that some of the information she presents is a bit dated, but not so much so that a new user will terribly embarrass themselves by relying on it. Overall, for myself (as a computer consultant of 15+ years) it did have some information to impart. Not necessarily enough to make this a "must have", but worth a read and recycle. Customer Rating: Summary: All you need to get started Comment: I disagree with the review that says it's too American. There is a chapter on international genealogical resources and in the chapters on RootsWeb, FamilySearch and general search sites it shows how to search for genealogies beyond North America. In all it's a good book to get you started in online genealogy. More Reviews
