How To Start Genealogy Search
Are there any books that will help me preform better genealogy searches?
I never done a genealogy search before. I am trying to do it on my own, but don’t know how or where to start. Are there any books that can help me understand how to searh information for a family tree?
I have tried rootsweb. But I found no useful information. Maybe I am doing it wrong.
To Emeraldisle:
I never noticed that mistake before. Thank you for pionting it out.
I’m glad you asked. I have used this book for over 15 yrs and refer back to it when I get stuck.
Unpuzzling your past by Emily Croom.
She takes you from the very beginning and walks you thru quite a few avenues. Now it costs about $20 but it is so worth it. I believe it’s on its 4th or 5th edition. I had to replace mine a couple of months ago because I had pretty much worn it out. And I bought a friend a copy as a birthday gift. She said it was the best gift she received. It has helped her on many occasions too.
Good luck on your quest.
