A Classic

The fifth edition of Searching for Your Ancestors provides information needed by the family historian -- whether beginner or experienced.

Searching for Your Ancestors

I have been searching for my ancestors for approx 2 years. I borrowed this book from a friend and found that it had so much information in it that I had to purchase it. It gave me information on more places to search along with information on items in history that I hadn't thought of. This book is a big help!
