Helpful starter book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I found Genealogy for the First Time helpful as I began my family genealogy work. I appreciated the colorful charts and photography which gave life to a sometimes "dry" topic. I found the steps given with each topic helpful and easy to understand. I especially enjoyed the use of genograms and the ways to display genealogy in the back of the book. I would recommend this book to anyone looking to start their genealogy. Jennie I
