This 64 page booklet has sparse information in the beginning about starting your online search. In the back there are a couple commonly used forms that appear in just about all of the genealogy books on the market. The majority of the book is a list of websites, many sorted by state. It might be a good book to have on your shelf to refer to from time to time when you are looking for a particular state website. Otherwise, this might be better ordered from your library through interlibrary loan. This is not a very useful tool.

This book is an excellent book chuck full of valuble information of the lastest places to do genealogy research online for free. Also places to go for help.

A basic, 64-page `how to' introduction and instruction guide for using the internet in genealogical research by veteran genealogist William Dollarhide, "Getting Started In Genealogy Online" is particularly `user friendly' for beginning genealogists and anyone relatively unfamiliar with using the computer and the internet for tracing family trees online. Whether a novice needing to master the fundamentals of genealogy or a seasoned genealogist ready to take maximum advantage of what the internet has to offer as a research medium, "Getting Started In Genealogy Online" will prove an invaluable learning tool. Enhanced with a listing of American genealogy resources centers, forms that include a family data sheet, a pedigree chart, and a family group sheet, readers will learn how to start their online researches, as well as where to find more information as their research expands. No personal or community library Genealogy Reference collection can be considered complete or comprehensive without the inclusion of "Getting Started In Genealogy Online"!
