My students required a textbook on genealogy that explained HOW to find information about their ancestors as well as what is available and where to get it. I wrote this book based on their requirements for simplicity.

Ms. Morris has simplified the seemingly daunting process of searching for family roots. The fact that the book is soft-covered and small (easy to carry) makes it inviting for note-taking and record-keeping.
