Summary |
Greenwood has updated and expanded his guide to American genealogical research. The book addresses aspects of the field that often challenge even the experienced researcher. Part 1's "Background to Research" discusses terminology, spelling and handwriting, evidence and standards of proof, libraries and reference materials, organizing and evaluating findings, and computers in genealogy (expanded from the second edition) and family history. Part 2's "Records and Their Use" covers compiled sources and newspapers, vital records, census returns, probate records and legal terminology, government and local land records, court records, women's property rights (a new chapter), church records, immigration records, military records, and cemetery and burial records. Copious record examples throughout the book highlight what types of information to look for and possible problems in usage. -Elaine M. Kuhn, Allen Cty.
