5.0 out of 5 stars A Doubly Useful Guide For Both Men And Women, May 4, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: When In Doubt Check Him Out: A Woman's Survival Guide For The '90s (Perfect Paperback)

A very useful book for two kinds of people. The first group, which is the book's intended audience, is people looking to check up on the past history of boyfriends or girfriends. Not having had to check up on some psychotic, I cannot rate the book on this level, except to say that it looks worthwhile.

The second group (me) is people who are looking to find people for family genealogy. Granted, this may seem like a stretch, but this book has helped me find more documents on ancestors than you could imagine. Extremely useful and critical for any genealogist to have on their shelves.

I purchased this book in the 90's when I saw the author speak on Oprah. I found it to be very informative, helpful, insightful and consise. Somehow I lost the book and have been on the hunt for it ever since. I had a hard time finding it because I couldn't remember the title or author but a friend of mine found it for me, thank god. I have used the information with a twist. Now that everyone has access to the internet I find the information in the book helpful and a great starting off point. I will be sure to never let it out of my sight. Being a single woman and having had some very bad experiences, I found this book to be of great help. I no longer have bad experiences.....

Jury is still out on whether or not you will hit "paydirt" on backrounding your subject. Almost all data you'll uncover will be historical, not current. If your subject has moved recently, these ideas will be of limited value to locating. This book will introduce you to many printed sources, documents and departments that you wouldn't think of checking into. The key to success is in finding one public record that gives data about another needed item of information (ex. A voter registration record giving the address or social security number). Most gathering is demonstrated as being conducted by smail mail, but I have found some can be done over the telephone, especially at the county levels. I have been able to access DMV licence and driving record info. thanks to his suggestions. Book is updated annually, which helps assure contact addresses are current.
