Descriere Family History for Beginners

Dabbling in family history is a pastime anyone of any age can enjoy, but although it is guaranteed to get you hooked once you start, the massive proliferation of websites, magazines, and books in recent years can baffle the would-be genealogist to a standstill. This is an ideal introduction to the tools and processes of researching your past. It will teach you how to get the most information from living relatives, how to negotiate the vast quantities of census, data with ease, and the best way to store, catalogue, and present the information you discover. Family History for Beginners will also help you take your research to the next level, beyond the simple facts of birth, marriage, and death, with chapters on occupation, emigration, and military service.
