5.0 out of 5 stars Great resource, April 5, 2003

Valerie B. Williams "Val" (Jim Thorpe, PA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: How to Find Your Family Roots and Write Your Family History (Paperback)

I started doing my family's genealogy about 2 months ago, and took out literally dozens of books from the library on the subject. This is the one I'm going to buy because it has such a great collection of resources, and easy to understand succinct chapters on the basic methodology of genealogy.
