history.' Family History Monthly
`A must in the search for your own roots.' The Good Book Guide
`The best easy-to-read guide you will come across should you be considering
researching your own family's history.' Surrey Advertiser
`This four-year diary charts one genealogist's quest to trace her ancestry.
With tips on using the internet, church records, and public archives, this
will prove an enormous help.' Good Book Guide
`There are many guidebooks dedicated to tracing your family history from
which the novice genealogist can choose, but this one, which promises to
show you how easy it is to discover your own family history, is
refreshingly different. The enthusiasm and delight experienced by Diane
Marelli is evident on every page of her four-year diary chronicling her
search for her ancestors. Quite unlike the standard guidebook which
sometimes reads like a text book, this diary engages the reader and, by way
of example, passes on valuable hints and tips for anyone starting out on
the genealogy trail.' Practical Family History
`Diane Marelli explains the whole process in straightforward and humorous
language.'
`Everything is contained within this book: the highs, the lows, the joys
and the sadness as dead ends are reached and more facts uncovered. Diane
Marelli's enthusiasm is boundless and her spirit tenacious. She gives new
family historians the benefit of her experience, the pitfalls and tons of
timesaving advice. Her quest consumed her life for four years and the final
result is a joy to read and an encouragement for us all.' Family Tree
