Those of you who subscribe online to Ancestry Daily News will recognize Juliana as one of their columnists. She is a top notch genealogist, and this is illustrated by this well organized book. This one belongs in everyone's home genealogy collection. It is subtitled "A comprehensive list of local, state, and federal agencies and institutions and ethnic and genealogical organizations". The entries are divided into "General Resources" and "State Addresses". She gives mailing addresses, telephone and fax numbers, and web sites when they are available. While many of us use Google or other online search engines to look for addresses, sometimes a book is the best and quickest way to find what we need. This is a great one to have.
