Unofficial Guide to Ancestry.com: How to Find Your Family History on the #1 Genealogy Website

If i had, i’d be finished my research by now! It explains all the words and categories that i likely didn’t understand, and — by spending time reading — i’m finding it much easier to research using the ancestry software. Answers the why and why not questions i didn’t know enough to ask…

GOOD BOOK

I don't usually enjoy using a written guide. However, I find this book a great resource, not only working with the Ancestry sight, it guides you to other resources as well. I'm going to appreciate having it to turn to on my journey.

I liked how the author blended the lessons in this book directly with an individuals Ancestry.com account. This book is for anybody getting started in building their family tree as well as experienced genealogists. For me, I chose this book so I could read about Ancestry.com and how it works BEFORE I started my Family Tree.

good book nice reference book and guide

This is just a book of forms nothing more. Did not realize it when i purchased it. Guess it would be great for those who want to hand record records in a book rather than on line.

easy reading good sequence of material

Very interesting, it makes you wanna know more

This book is very helpful, with lots of good guidance, but it is primarily for an American reader, and is weak on British information sourcing before 1837.

I found , in the areas I was working on, the information was expressed in easily understood wording. Lots of helpful and detailed info.

If you need help about how to use Ancestry.com, this is a very good and recent book written in 2018. It takes you through the different tasks and shows you ways to get the most out of making and managing your tree, searching many different types of databases, including the valuable Card Catalog and connecting with other researchers. It even has a basic chapter on what to do with your DNA test results.Cynthia

It’s written for the American site which differs quite a bit from the UK site.

This is a very good resource for the new, the casual, & the regular but moderate user. Useful as a refresher for all levels of experience. Recommended for all individuals that use or plan to use Ancestry.
