What our customer's say!

"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.
Maria (Ree) Hopper, CG

"updated tripe", This edition of the book is more up-to-date, so it's actually useful somewhat. Mostly, though, it's a book written by experts for experts. There is little thought given to the practical application of genealogy -- making friends with newly found relatives, for example, and family reunions. There is no mention of the politics that go into genealogy. You can easily destroy your family by writing the wrong date for a marriage on your descendant chart, but the book totally omits important facts like that! It has a small chapter on DNA, which is nice, but it leaves out critical information on that topic, too. The "Idiot's" title of this book is misleading; the authors fail to think like a layman. Beware.

"I Needed a Complete Idiots Guide to Online Genealogy!", Christine Rose's "The Complete Idiots's Guide to Online Genealogy" made me finally move from, "I am going to do a genealogic study of my father's family", to "I have been working on this project for two years, and am truly enjoying the experience".

The book is well organized, and easy to read and understand. I have in the past 5 years developed a memory problem that will not get better. I had become so afraid failure, I did not want to attempt learning something new again. I used "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Computers" years ago, and found it a great way to quickly ground myself in the basics. When I saw Ms. Rose's book, I knew it was my best opportunity.

I now have numerous books concerning genealogy, but "Idiot's" is dog earred and still the first book on the shelf. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to learn family history and genealogy and how to put together a family tree. Especially those who do not have the inside lingo.

"The Complete Idiot's Guide To Genealogy", Whether you are just beginning to explore your family history or are well on your way, this is the book to keep on hand. If you are a beginner it guides you through the process of getting started effectively. The experienced researcher will find invaluable information here, too. I highly recommend this one.

"A fabulous reference", I used this book as a reference when I was writing The Family Tree Detective (my children's book about genealogy). The Complete Idiot's Guide to Genealogy is sensational. The authors make a lot of potentially complex material easy to understand. They also write in a fun-to-read style: something that you don't always find in genealogy books! This is definitely a book you'll want to add to your genealogy library.

"If you buy only one genealogy book, buy this one!", I bought this book when I hadn't yet done any research at all about my family history. A year and a half later, I have a file drawer full of information, and I have needed no other reference. I also bought a book called The Source,which is supposed to be the 'genealogist's bible', and it has been a giant paperweight in comparison. Idiot's genealogy is full of the kind of practical information that can carry you through years of research. Happy hunting!!!

"Best presented 'how-to' book on genealogy", This book is not just for beginners! Every researcher should read this book to keep them on track in their family history research. The material is very entertaining as well as informative. I recommend this book at every class or seminar I teach.

"This book covers the spectrum of genealogy.", This book is an outstanding book for the beginner or experienced genealogist. It is well-written and easy to read. I plan to keep it as one of my major reference books for the future. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in searching their genealogy.
