Great information that I've already found useful in my genealogy search. Lots of websites, addresses, interview questions, and ideas to make hunting for ancestors easier. I've already sent a couple of military records requests (using addresses in this book) and learned a lot about how the census is set up and ideas for getting the most from found census records. I've found family census records back to the early 1800's! My book is full of sticky notes and highlighter pen markings. :)

Nothing about tracking genealogy in different countries, which sucked.

A pretty comprehensive beginner's guide to genealogy. Can be a bit overwhelming, but covers a lot of topics.
