Book Description

December 2001 Neal-Schuman NetGuide Series
This is not just another resource pointing you to the thousands of genealogical research sites on the Web. Instead, this dynamic text features the tips, techniques, and resources covered in Diane Kovac's popular workshops on how to efficiently unearth an amazing array of genealogical gold on the Web. Both amateur family-history sleuths and professional geneaologists have marveled at how useful the Web can be for those with the Kovacs know-how.

Included are URLs and passwords for informative Web-based activities, greatly enhancing the user-friendly quality of this book. Web forms for each activity allow you to report your progress and receive further tips from Ms. Kovacs. Learn when you'll have to travel and when you can research from home, how to involve others in your process, what resources and techniques to avoid, how to connect with experts and key libraries in the field, what tools and sites work best for the separate stages of the research process, and how to publish your own family history. Beginners, experts, librarians, and patrons--everyone has a treasure to uncover with the virtual hands-on help of Diane Kovacs!


Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

The first section of this book by an experienced reference librarian and Internet trainer addresses the basics of using the Internet for genealogical research. Next is a discussion of the top 10 genealogical tools on the Internet, followed by a chapter on networking with other genealogists. There is also a section exploring some specialized areas of genealogy. Each chapter ends with a tutorial composed of several activities, typically involving visits to Web sites. The reader may register for free at the companion Web site, which will provide frequently updated hyperlinks. The author is even available via e-mail for assistance. Librarians are invited to download and adapt the tutorials (standard HTML-based Web pages) for staff or patron training. All in all, this is one work that serves a variety of users as well as uses and should be of interest wherever genealogists are to be found. RBB
