5.0 out of 5 stars An ideal introduction to tracing your family history., 27 Feb 2002
By K. M. Robson (Fenland, Cambs., U.K.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Although written by a retired professional genealogist, it is very readable and an excellent introduction to the subject. It covers not only the usual topics of what information is available and from what sources etc., but also the basics of how to keep records, how to store and file all the information you gather, exactly what to look for in old records, etc. There are also precise instructions on how to actually draw up your family tree; all very valuable guidance to beginners to the subject which is often missing in other books.
