This book is an outstanding book for the beginner or experienced genealogist. It is well-written and easy to read. I plan to keep it as one of my major reference books for the future. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in searching their genealogy.
The best book for the beginning genealogist. April 30, 1998
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
Idiot's Guide is for the genealogist who wants a clear and plain language instruction book. It tells how-to from beginning to end, without leaving anything out. The section about organizing your papers and material is worth the price of the book. I plan to encourage my Genealogy Society to recommend this book to our students in the genealogy classes we hold every year.

The Complete Idiot's Guide To Genealogy by professional genealogists Christine Rose and Kay Germain Ingalls is an informed and informative reference for discovering the genealogical history of one's family. Inclusive and enhanced with resources and advice for modern advancements in genealogical tracing, DNA studies, facts for libraries, cemeteries, courthouses, and common abbreviations and acronyms that genealogy frequently involves, The Complete Idiot's Guide To Genealogy acts as an ideal guide for the novice genealogist. Thoroughly "user friendly", The Complete Idiot's Guide To Genealogy is very strongly recommended to all students of genealogy, as well as to those wishing to more thoroughly understand and trace their familial heritage and history.
I Needed a Complete Idiots Guide to Online Genealogy! August 2, 2006
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Christine Rose's "The Complete Idiots's Guide to Online Genealogy" made me finally move from, "I am going to do a genealogic study of my father's family", to "I have been working on this project for two years, and am truly enjoying the experience".
The book is well organized, and easy to read and understand. I have in the past 5 years developed a memory problem that will not get better. I had become so afraid failure, I did not want to attempt learning something new again. I used "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Computers" years ago, and found it a great way to quickly ground myself in the basics. When I saw Ms. Rose's book, I knew it was my best opportunity.
I now have numerous books concerning genealogy, but "Idiot's" is dog earred and still the first book on the shelf. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to learn family history and genealogy and how to put together a family tree. Especially those who do not have the inside lingo.
