Synopsis

Where can you find the elusive ancestor? What would you offer to find him and be assured that he is the right one? Noel C. Stevenson, an experienced and recognized genealogist, prepared Search And Research to help answer these questions and others that complicate the fascinating work of genealogy. Painstakingly and carefully organized, Mr. Stevenson conducts the reader into an analysis of research questions. He offers sources of research, such as official records, church and school records, family and private sources, libraries and historical societies. The author further indicates sources that some researchers might overlook, such as telephone directories, pension files, newspapers, W.P.A. records, military registers and records. There are many sources, this volume details the steps to take to access them.
