BOOK - Starting Out in Genealogy - Second Edition
By Ruth Burkholder
Published by Global Heritage Press

Building a family tree looks like a daunting taste to the unititiated, however it's easier than you think! Family history research is not complicated as long as you know which records are available, where to find those records, and how to organize the information that you gather.

Ruth Burkholder has successfully educated family historians for many years. She is well known for her ability to explain both simple and complex research activities in an easy to understand way. Most of all, Ruth has a knack of keeping the fun in it while providing proper methods and advice that comply with accepted genealogical research and recording practices.

We asked Ruth to write Starting Out In Genealogy because we hoped that she could translate her teaching methods into a helpful how-to guide for those who are considering a family tree project. In our view, she has exceeded expectation.

This guide is designed for the beginner. However, it will also be of considerable help to those who have already started researching and recording family history, but want to improve their skills and results.

This book is strongly slanted toward assisting those who are researching their Canadian roots. If youare seeking a similar publication for another country, click on a country name on the left-hand side of this screen.
