Synopsis

The Barnes & Noble Review
The process of searching for family background and history has become infinitely easier in the age of the Internet. Genealogical software and reams of information posted to the Web are just two of the computer-driven innovations that have helped amateur family historians in their quest to look back in time. Finding Your Roots is a fine guide for all those who want to look within the U.S. and abroad for answers to their family's historical questions. Databases are reviewed, programs are picked apart, and the best routes for overseas searching are traveled. Fully updated for the age in which the computer serves as a more-than-adequate supplement to the library stacks, the latest edition of Finding Your Roots will open up new doors for the family researcher.

About this title

From the Author

Your family's history is all about family values, and fun.
With 42 million Americans tracing their ancestors, there's no cause to bemoan a lack of family values. Today's ancestor hunters are intent on leaving a history of family heritage for their children and granchildren. And it's never been easier or more fun to do. I've revised this 20-year-old classic to include the explosion of cyber-genealogy. More addresses, telephone numbers, web sites -- more of everything to help you find your personal history. Happy ancestor hunting -- and let me know how you found your saints and scamps.
