Product Description

Product Description
Complications arising from incomplete or missing records, census irregularities and individuals of the same name occur more often than non-genealogists might think. The author, a respected genealogist, helps beginners break through these "brick walls" by breaking down each researcher's common problem into a chapter with straightforward solutions. Readers will: Go straight to the answers they need without wading through theory or irrelevant records overviews; Find explanations and case studies easily understood by beginning genealogists, yet still useful for more experienced researchers; Learn what NOT to do in research to avoid hitting brick walls in the future; The result is the best and most accessible book on the market about overcoming obstacles, from Family Tree Magazine and Family Tree Books, the sources of genealogy's most popular publications.

About the Author
Marsha Hoffman Rising is a highly respected author, lecturer and researcher and the recipient of the National Genealogical Society Award for Excellence in the US, given for outstanding articles. She has been in the genealogy field for more than 20 years.

2.0 out of 5 stars Problem Solver only in the US, 26 Oct 2007
By David Kerr (Grantown on Spey, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This may be an excellent book for aught I can tell but it is orientated entirely towards United States genealogy and is therefore of very little use to UK buyers. Even looking for generic tips which might be applicable in a wider context failed to reveal much of benefit in a UK context.

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of money., 22 Jun 2008
By Pyrasphinx (Huddersfield, W.Yorkshire England) - See all my reviews
Couldn't agree more with other reviewers. This is entirely for the American market and should be clearly stated as such. I wasted my money.
