2.0 out of 5 stars Mostly focuses on geneology research, September 1, 2006

This review is from: Family Reunion Planning Kit for Dummies (Paperback)

This book is very thick and would seem to be helpful in planning a family reunion, however, it seemed to focus more on geneology research and finding lost family members. It came with a CD-Rom, so I guess that was a perk.
