Product Description

Review

‘This is a really useful book….Highly recommended.’ (Practical Family History, July 2010).

‘…this is a well–written and very informative book…’ (Your Family Tree, July 2010).

…suitable for readers of any age and for those with a fear of technology...easy to read and definitely user friendly’. (Family History Monthly, August 2010).

Product Description

Discover your roots with Family History for the Older and Wiser. This extremely easy–to–follow book will guide you through all the different stages of researching your family history online and how to record your findings.

Using a case study approach, the book takes a single source item – an 1890 marriage certificate purchased at an antiques event – and uses it to highlight the questions you should be asking yourself about your own family documentation and how this can be used as a basis for online research.

Learn how to:

  • Access and investigate online records
  • Use spreadsheets to record your findings and assess their validity and reliability
  • Incorporate your family tree into online programs
  • Share your research with friends and family and much more…

Format:Paperback
An excellent book for the beginner to family history - well laid out and easy to follow. The example project used throughout the book was very useful. People who have been researching their family history for some time will also find it helpful particularly if they are thinking of putting their records onto a computer for the first time.

family history 3 Jan 2011
Format:Paperback
This book is not necessarily just for the older or the wiser, as the title suggests, because it's written in a clear understandable way, making it a perfect aid for any beginner to family history who uses a computer for their research. Even I found helpful tips in it despite the fact I've been tracing my own family tree for quite a few years.

Format:Paperback
I have bought several books to help with researching my family history and this is the best one I have dipped into. Each section is clear with examples to work through to help use the websites and a brief resume at the end of each chapter. Brilliant.
