Book Description/Synopsis:

Family history is a topic that fascinates many, but the academic nature and involved research methods can make genealogy an intimidating hobby to pursue. Family History Detective will remove the intimidation factor by breaking down the research methods into basic steps readers can follow to find immediate success. Readers learn how to start their search with sources in their own homes - journals, scrapbooks and other memorabilia. They also learn how to locate and effectively use census, courthouse and church records and keep their information organised using pedigree charts, group sheets and effective organising systems. This second edition includes a complete update on Internet research techniques and electronic filing systems. Readers also learn how to use the facts and data they find to transform their ancestors from mere names into fascinating people with full, complex lives they can relate to.
