Synopsis:
"Memories, sepia-toned faces in frames, scrawled names on scraps of paper, a bit of legend passed along orally: This is your family.
You want to find out more--who they were, what they did, where they came from, how they lived. Guided by Unpuzzling Your Past, you can.
This is the basic handbook to use when you start your genealogical detective work. Right away, you'll feel the excitement of the search. And chapter by chapter, you'll learn how to conduct it, from talking with people to making discoveries in public records.
Unpuzzling Your Past makes the work easier, with interview formats, sample letters, work sheets, multi-generation forms, census extraction from from 1790 through 1920, a comprehensive resources section, bibliographies and case studies. For this edition, Emily Croom has expanded the chapters on public sources, including censuses, courthouse records, federal government resources and computers in genealogy.
It's all here in the book that helps you fit the pieces together, to understand your family better." -back cover
Review: If you've ever thought of find your roots, Emily Anne Croom's is the genealogy guide to get you going. She's got sensible chapters on how to get started, the meaning of names, the difference between a family history of dates and a family history of stories, how to gather sources, who to interview, and how to fit it all together. Croom breaks the process into bite-sized pieces to turn it into a fun project that takes shape and grows with each new family scrap.
