A Great Place to Start!

I have been interested in genealogy for a long time, but I am just beginning to pursue that interest. To learn the basics, I read other, older books on genealogy, but this book tells it all! It is a treasure trove of references to search resources, while providing computer tips to vividly demonstrate the speed and effectiveness of online research. Genealogy Online Crowe's light, conversational style makes for easy reading while learning how to find one's ancestors. With this book, Crowe opens the door to a wide world of genealogical records and shows the best way to explore them all.

Great Reference for Online Research

This is a very useful tool for you genealogists who use the internet. There are dozens of useful hints. That the book has been popular for a while is obvious by the fact that this is the eighth edition. A large number of valuable websites are discussed, both private and governmental. This book will help you a lot with your family tree.

What a marvelous book!

I've really enjoyed this book. I knew nothing about geneology when I got it. But the directions and advise were a great help to me in starting to research my family's surnames. In just a couple hours on the Web I was able to discover why my family has so much in common with the Pennsylvania Germans (although we don't live in PA), as well as discover that some of my father's ancestors may have immigrated from a particular area in Scotland. It was fun find these things on the Web, and the book was a great help in doing so. I'd definitely recommend it!

Keeping up with the on-line world - Again!

I just finished reading over "Genealogy Online" newest edition - for the first time. Obviously, this newest Millennium Edition is one that I will be using for reference on a continual basis. Ms. Crowe's newest revision is not only a very precise tool for guidance in on-line research, but also a wealth of information for all levels of genealogists. In the ever-changing world of the Internet it is very hard to present the "newest and best" of sites to hit. This book does that and more!

Excellent material once again from a genealogy pro!

Ms.Crowe has once again delivered an excellent resource on searching for our ancestors online. In her typically informative but relaxed style she has managed to put together an informative and user friendly outline on the best ways to research and enjoy yourself at the same time. In a world where technology is constantly changing it is invaluable to have the most up to date material available. This latest effort delivers new ideas and sources, and guides the researcher through the frivolous and straight to the important information that is online. Kudos to Ms. Crowe.
