A good book overall
This book is reasonably up to date and provides numerous references in case you need more depth of information in certain areas. Even the most critical review gives it 3 stars. I do agree that there is more detail than needed in some areas. This is hardly a fault as I can skim those topics and comeback for more detail later if needed.
packed with info!
As are the others in the Idiots series, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Geneology was packed with useful info to get one started.
The best guide available.
These authors have the credentials to and have written a superb handbook, especially for the genealogy "newbies". Even the experienced family historian will here find MUCH help. Paul Drake JD
The Complete Idiot's Guide to Genealogy
As a newbie to genealogy, I find this to be a very helpful book. It points you in the directions that you should go and gives a lot of ideas that I would not have thought of.
Great Guide
This is a great book for beginners and experienced researchers. I recommend it to my students.
