Generation by generation

a modern approach to the basics of genealogy
Drew Smith
Book - 2023

"The question all beginners in genealogy research ask themselves is, 'Where do I begin?' 'Should I join a commercial subscription service like Ancestry.com?' ' What if I don't find what I'm looking for on the Internet?' 'How do I organize the information I'm gathering along the way?' Fortunately, this guide answers all those questions and engages neophytes with a book that takes an entirely fresh approach to the subject. Author Drew Smith has organized the chapters according to the actual process used in genealogical research: Start with yourself, then move on to living family and relatives, and then move backwards in time, generation by generation. Each chapter describes a time period and the kinds of records available for that era, allowing beginners to learn about new types of records just as they need them"--Provided by publisher.
