  1. Katherine R. Willson

    I’ve been recommending this fantastic guide to all of my genealogy students, regardless of their experience levels, and am especially grateful for the author’s decision to include paleography and document translation in the guide. These are areas often overlooked by beginning and intermediate researchers, and the links provided will assist any genealogist wishing to expand their skills in these, and many other areas. Kudos to Ms. Loe for another fantastic book!

    There is so much valuable information in this guide. It is so much more than the title suggests. Not only will it be a huge help to beginners, wished I had this when I began, but great for seasoned genealogy researchers as well, especially helpful in trying to resolve a “brick wall” using the lengthy list of sites one might search.

    It provides so many direct links, along with a description, all in one guide to assist you in your research, many you might not have known about or thought about. This guide will save you time and money by explaining terminology used in genealogy and clarifying and simplifying record management thereby eliminating mistakes and making it easier to search your records in the future. I would recommend this to everyone as a great resource for research and guidelines on maintaining your records. Money well spent on this guide.
