Probably was a great book for 1st couple of years after it was was written. Several links no longer work.

More of a beginner's guide to the Internet than to genealogy

Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 1998

Although this book is subtitled "Genealogical Research on the Internet," it is really more of a basic guide to using the Internet than it is an aide to genealogical research. A large portion of the book is dedicated to subjects like "How to Send and Receive E-mail Messages," "How Mailing Lists and Newsgroups Work," "Getting to Know Your Browser," and "How to Access a Web Site." Included are indexes of genealogical mailing lists, personal web sites, searchable databases, libraries, and archives, and a listing of the categories on Cyndi's List on the Web. Roughly 20% of the content is genealogy-specific, much of which is available on Cyndi's excellent website. This book will be most helpful to readers who are new to cyberspace but anyone who already knows how to send e-mail or surf the Web will find it less useful.

Should be a geneology pamphlet instead

Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 1999

For those of us more familiar with the ins and outs of internet resources (e-mail, newsgroups, search engines, and internet databases), the book could be condensed down from a 182-page book to around 25 pages of lists of resources in a pamphlet. (Or simply by visiting her website.) She does an excellent job of taking the newbie through it all, but I'm a geneology newbie, not a computer newbie, and it's more important to me to know where to look and what to look for, not how to use the tools to do the looking. I miss having a "rating" for how relevant or useful some of the resources she lists are.

No New Information

Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2000

For someone with NO computer experience this is a worthwhile book for everyone else it is useless. It does not contain genealogical information it is merely a book on how to use a computer (from how to turn one on) and how to log on to the internet (you must have an ISP). For a book titled such as this one is there should be information on sites.

Very helpful, points a beginner in the right direction.

Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 1998

I found Netting Your Ancestors to be very thorough in explaining how and where to look on the internet. I reccomend this book to anyone not just a beginning, geneologist but to all geneologist. To go along with this book is Cyndi's website that helps people find all sorts of information.

The essential book for beginning Internet genealogists

Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 1997

I don't know how Cyndi finds time to keep her fabulous web site up-to-date, let alone write a book that will get beginners in Internet genealogy off on the right foot, but she's done it. Now, if she'd just do a second miracle, and write a book for Internet oldbies, too!
