 Excellent Resource Guide June 21, 2008

This book is loaded with facts. If a researcher needs information from several states to track down an ancestor, this book has it all. The book is organized by state and gives the sources in each state for specific local records. One of the most useful features is its bibliographic reference on background sources for more detailed information on individual states.
Casual researchers who need information from only one state would probably find this book to be "too much information".
Must have for genealogists March 20, 2007

This is a book I keep at my fingertips. When I need to research a state I am not familiar with this is my first stop. It has maps and provides an outline of all the resources available. I only wish they went one level deeper and provided information on when towns were incorporated.

A must have for the family historian. Gives all the details needed to figure out not only the place, but where it legally was in time. Book in excellent condition, well organized.
