5.0 out of 5 stars Does what it says on the tin, 1 Sep 2009
By Mr. Michael Pearson (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Genealogy Online for Dummies - UK Edition (Paperback)
As with most Dummies titles, it does what it says on the tin, and gives you exactly what you expect. Although I am by no means a novice at genealogy, I found numerous ideas and suggestions that have already helped me trace a relative who died in the 2nd World War. There are pages of useful websites - many of them free to search - and anyone contemplating researching their Family History should seriously consider this book, especially at the excellent price to be found on amazon.co.uk.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not Just for Dummies, 2 Sep 2009
By Carla "fascinated fan" (Peterborough, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Genealogy Online for Dummies - UK Edition (Paperback)
Had recently purchased a couple of books to help me with my amateur geneaology research & then spotted this one. It won hands down on positive help without having to trawl through chapters & chapters to even decide where to start.
Perfect for the first timer & also the more experienced geneaologists as well.

By A Customer
This review is from: Genealogy Online for Dummies (Paperback)
I truly enjoyed this book. My daughters been trying to buy it for me for quite some time. Of course that was the previous version...I didn't think I needed it AND then I hit a brick wall. I asked her to get it for me for Mother's Day, sure enough, it helped! Matthew and April, Thanks!!!
