- Summary
- Getting started, research techniques, interviewing tips, and effective use of the library and Internet are all discussed in detail in this book along with the benefits and importance of genealogical research. Also included is a discussion on how a person's own identity is linked to their ancestors, and knowledge of forebears can contribute to a sense of security and family pride that is missing in many mobile and disjointed modern families. Showing how a soundly researched family history can also enhance an individual's understanding of war, hardship, and larger historical events, this work grants insight into the personality traits and health issues of one's descendants.
