Roots for Kids is based on a twelve-week course the author developed for her fourth grade class. While the book is suitable for adoption by teachers seeking to supplement their middle school social studies curriculum with material on family history, its principal use will be by and with individual young people. The author moves slowly and carefully, as she takes young readers through an introduction to genealogy, to discussions of their families and their parents families . . . learning how to ask questions (oral history) . . . researching local, state and national records . . . using libraries and historical societies . . . much more. In short, Roots for Kids will teach youngsters how to create a simple family tree and give them both the tools and appetite to learn more about their roots and to uncover the stories and events that make them and their families unique.

great book for beginners or kids.

This book is layed out in a practical way to start a genealogical study. I use it with my homeschoolled grandchildren, each week we read the chapter together and do what the book says is our next step. It would also help an adult who doesnt know where to start.

The contents contain research I will cover for the genealogy class I will instruct to the young people in my group. The age group 8 to 14 will be able to read and understand the book with ease. It guides me step by step what I think is the beginning of genealogy. I would suggest to the students to purchase this book for their home library for a reference.

Very good. I wish there were more genealogy introductory material for young people. The study of our ancesters and our roots has become more popular in recent years.

Terrific

Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2010

As I've worked on my genealogy projects, I've employed a jump into the deep end of the pool methodology and often have had to go back and learn the basics of various records sets after running into walls.

Lately I've been thinking of ways to teach my children about the family and my research and wondered how one might make a pile of papers and old photographs truly interesting to them.

Well, this book begins with a wonderful picture of putting together a jigsaw puzzle - you don't know what you really have until the pieces are in place. As the book works through the various topics and record types, the author does a great job of incorporating story and mental images into the process, making it more tangible and understandable to a young researcher.

I'd recommend this book to anyone hoping to pass on the genealogy bug to their kids or even to get adults started on the basics.
