The reviews gave me a heads-up on the book and for the most part they were right. I actually read it cover-to-cover as night-time reading hoping I would just happen on the exact tip to break through some genealogy brickwalls. Excellent if your brickwall is after @1840 or 1850. Lots of tips. Not much if your brickwall is (as mine are) prior to 1840 or even in the late 1700s.
The book is indexed but no surnames. One reviewer posted that it could use the title of each "brick" put into categories. I agree it needs something but couldn't come up with what category(s) I'd want to see.
A nice read with a few gems here and there. Again, if your brickwall is after about 1840 -- then go ahead. If before then, you might want to look elsewhere. But I did enjoy reading it. Some really interesting info -- you wouldn't believe why SOME of these ancestors were so hard to find. :-) Requires out-of-the-box thinking. And some of the best stories in the book.
