Product Description

Synopsis

Americans interested in finding out about their personal heritages are shown that family-tree tracing can be done simply and inexpensively.

From the Author

Your family's history is all about family values, and fun.
With 42 million Americans tracing their ancestors, there's no cause to bemoan a lack of family values. Today's ancestor hunters are intent on leaving a history of family heritage for their children and granchildren. And it's never been easier or more fun to do. I've revised this 20-year-old classic to include the explosion of cyber-genealogy. More addresses, telephone numbers, web sites -- more of everything to help you find your personal history. Happy ancestor hunting -- and let me know how you found your saints and scamps.

First Sentence
TODAY MILLIONS of Americans of all kinds are searching for their forebears-from American Indians to those whose English ancestors stepped off the Mayflower to those whose African, Asian, Latin-American, and European ancestors arrived much later. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun to read and full of great information 8 Dec 2008
By Mary Chrapliwy - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I'm a beginning genealogist. I have already gathered quite a bit of family information from relatives and was ready to begin going a little further - verifying the information I have and then expanding to older generations. So I got a pile of books from the library (11 of them to be exact). Some were so basic as to be nearly useless. This is one of the books that stood out from the bunch.

First off, it was really fascinating to start reading about the original immigrants to the United States, even before the US was born when our country was referred to only as the New World. From there Westin goes into greater detail with variations of names, origins of names, how to find information from archives, and much more. Though there are not many illustrations, this book uses its pages wisely to entertain and inform.

I enjoyed this book and feel I will use it so much that I am ordering a copy to replace the library book I borrowed. This one is a book for the keeper shelf.
