Excellent Beginning Genealogy Teaching Manual

This book covers all aspects of getting starting with family history research. The beginner is introduced to the sometimes confusing world of genealogical research in a straightforward, systematic manner. I teach a genealogy course at a local college and this is the book I use as my text. My students learn to do their research correctly from the beginning, and have the book to use later for reference. If you are looking for a book that will get you started in the right direction, this is it. The center of the book has a section of illustrations that are invaluable in explaining documents and their importance as evidence. Highly recommended for all beginners and other wanting to learn to do research correctly.
