THE SOURCE
The Source: A Guidebook of American Genealogy.
-- Since 1984, The Source has set the standard for family history references, winning the ALA “Best Reference” award and earning the top spot on Family Chronicle’s “Top 10 Genealogical Books” list. Each chapter in this new edition is a mini seminar written by an expert in a specific genealogical field that shows what sources are available, how to find them, and most importantly, how to use them.
-- The Internet has changed the genealogical landscape in the ten years since The Source’s last revision. The many contributors to this volume explore these new online sources and place them in context with timeless family history research principles. New or updated chapters include chapters dedicated to computers, the American colonial era, references and guides, and more.
