The Barnes & Noble Review
The process of searching for family background and history has become infinitely easier in the age of the Internet. Genealogical software and reams of information posted to the Web are just two of the computer-driven innovations that have helped amateur family historians in their quest to look back in time. Finding Your Roots is a fine guide for all those who want to look within the U.S. and abroad for answers to their family's historical questions. Databases are reviewed, programs are picked apart, and the best routes for overseas searching are traveled. Fully updated for the age in which the computer serves as a more-than-adequate supplement to the library stacks, the latest edition of Finding Your Roots will open up new doors for the family researcher.
