About this title

Synopsis

This popular guidebook explains how to organize, trace and showcase a family history with the most up-to-date information on how and where to do research.

The second edition of this highly successful book has been extensively revised and now features two new chapters: one on Internet research, the other on court records.

This new edition is fully illustrated with fascinating photographs taken from the manuscript collection at New England Historic Genealogical Society and has a new easy-to-read design.

Reviews

Arlene Eakle and Johni Cerny's The Source ( LJ 9/15/84) and Ancestry's Guide to Research (1984) have superseded by their encyclopedic fullness every other genealogical handbook and will be indispensable for years to come. The need persists, however, for the brief, affordable, nonintimidating guide for the beginner. Many good ones are available: e.g., Gilbert Doane and James C. Bell's Searching for Your Ancestors (Univ. of Minnesota Pr., 1980. 5th ed.); Harriet Stryker-Rodda's How To Climb Your Family Tree (Genealogical Pub. Co., 1977, repr. 1983). Public libraries that need another such book will profit by Crandall's thorough and readable coverage of the various types of records. He discusses methods, library resources, immigration, etc. Helpful pointers summarize each chapter. The book is weak on ethnic research, however, and skimpy on the use of computers.
