A thorough genealogical resource explores the techniques of discovering the secrets of one's family history and locating one's ancestors, covering everything from how to identify the members of one's family tree, to using different types of historical records both at home and abroad, to explaining how to discover various genealogical resources around the world.

Reviews

Adult/High School–A well-crafted, clearly organized guide for beginning and experienced genealogists. The book is divided into five sections from Beginning the Quest to Going Global and includes an extensive international resource directory. The introduction discusses some of the pitfalls and myths of genealogical research. Hull takes readers from the simple to the complex. Each section is logically divided and includes problem and solution and dos and don'ts sidebars. Photos of documents and ancestors complement the text; captions explain how they might be used for further research. A listing of genealogy software, supplies, the National Genealogical Society's recommended publishing standards for sharing information one has gathered in print and on the Internet, and a lengthy index are included, but there is no glossary of genealogical terms. This title could be used for history assignments on the culture of various decades, famous people, and the Holocaust.–Ellen Bell, Amador Valley High School, Pleasanton, CA
