My rating: 4 of 5 stars


ebook ISBN is 9780806535524

I am a hobby-ist genealogist, and I enjoyed reading the 22 case histories Megan Smolenyak tells of the ways her special skills have been used to find ancestors or descendants. She develops her stories well, and they can hold the interests for most any problem-solving person.

Who Do You Think You Are?: The Essential Guide to Tracing Your Family History by Megan Smolenyak

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This is a companion guide to the NBC series, and the middle section retells the stories of the episodes of the first season.

This book is also a 200-page guide to researching your own family tree, suggestions for the software that makes recording the history so much easier than paper filing, and suggestions for websites (fee-based and free) that can get you started from home.

I am a hobbyist, and I still found some websites to search from this book. I can recommend both beginners and hobbyists read it.
