  • Is filled with illustrations of document examples
  • Covers everything from the library to the courthouse, the census to the cemetery, and Internet-based databases to message boards, mailing lists, and online webinars
  • Contains updated chapters on newly released and forthcoming census records, the acceleration of records digitization, and how to use blogs, podcasts, videocasts, and DNA genealogy tools.

The book is not only perfect for beginning genealogists who want and need a well-balanced, easily accessible, and simply explained guide to getting started but also for intermediate-level genealogists who are seeking solid guidance about working with more advanced records than just birth, marriage, and death records, while obtaining new perspectives on research strategies. Educators who wish to teach solid research methods concerning family history and genealogical investigation, using both “traditional” paper-based source materials and electronic and Internet-based resources will also find valuable information in Morgan’s book.
