I was disappointed to find that this book tells you how to apply the information you have on the web so that others who are looking have it. I am cautious about placing personal information on the web because you don’t know who might collect it and then use it to steal your identity or create problems in other areas of your private life. I was looking for ways to go the the national data banks to find out information and I felt this book did not fill that need. Jean Schweer Rating: 3 / 5
This is the best Genealogy book available!!! If you only buy one book on tracing your family tree this is it! Rating: 5 / 5
I got this book for my mother in law. She is currently working in the family geneaology and found it very helpful. Rating: 5 / 5
This book was a total let down. Too much material is glossed over. This is probably a great guide for a kid doing a school project–but it just doesn’t cover as much material as other books at the same price. For example it states that you can find info from genealogical societies , research centers and libraries. No societies or libraries are then listed right there in the book. A paltry few societies are listed in the back. I just finished The genealogy sourcebook by Sharon Debarto Carmack–which is absolutely fabulous!!! Maybe if I read the boks in the reverse order I would have a higher opinion of the Reader’s digest version. On second thought–probably not!!!!! Rating: 2 / 5
