Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
A genealogical author, columnist, and popular lecturer, Carmack delivers a friendly and informed guide that can help both the beginning and experienced genealogist. In a direct, well-organized text, she approaches research via the phone, mail, the Internet, or hired professionals, covering resources and repositories that range from fingertip sources, forms, interviews, and research trips to professional genealogical certification and accreditation venues. Inviting and unpyrotechnic, the text concludes with encouragement and options for turning raw research material into some ultimate form of treasured legacy, be it a book, article, or album. Besides being well crafted and comprehensive, this book is written with care and respect. Easier to use but just as professional as Mark D. Herber's Ancestral Trails (LJ 3/1/98), this book also dovetails nicely with Charley Kempthorne's For All Time (LJ 9/15/96).?Scott Hightower, New York Univ., New York

Book Description
Though it can be as casual or as diligent as you wish, genealogy involves documented research through letters, books, periodicals, personal interviews, and other records. The Genealogy Sourcebook provides information on the numerous genealogical, lineage, family associations, and ethnic societies that can help in the search for your ancestors. In this how-to guidebook, there are case studies to demonstrate how all this research can be organized and how to overcome brick walls in your search.
