| The Complete Idiot's Guide to Online Genealogy
Rhonda McClure
If you want to learn more about your family, now's the time to start.
With the advent of the Internet, there's more information available
than ever before, and it's easier to access now than in the good old
days of musty libraries and records halls. The Complete Idiot's Guide to Online Genealogyby Rhonda McClure will have you wired and digging up dirt (or gold) in
just an hour or two. Even the most ardent computer-hater will have to
admit that the search is simpler, and McClure makes the case clearly.
Her charming prose is well complemented by online images and hint boxes
scattered liberally on each page. Specific sites are mentioned as well
as general means of searching for family data, so even if one site
disappears you can still get what you need. The book covers the basics
of both gathering family data and online searches, so if you're not
quite up to speed on one or the other, you can quickly figure it out.
After you've browsed a bit and started collecting information, the
later chapters help you to communicate with other researchers, mining
government records, and even publishing your own results online. It's
not hard to learn plenty about your family's history; whether you want
to get in touch with your roots, glean medical information to improve
your own health, or give your kids something to think about, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Online Genealogy is for you. --Rob LightnerProduct DetailsIf you want to learn more about your family, now's the time to start.
