Rose and Kay Germain Ingalls
Alpha, 2012.
410 pgs. Nonfiction
Hands down
this is the finest introduction to genealogy that I’ve read. This book teaches
you where and how to begin your research, how to keep track of your findings,
how to stay grounded in good research techniques as you explore internet
resources, and how to glean the most from all the primary record types used in
research. Interspersed throughout the text are definitions, “pedigree pitfalls,”
“tree tips,” and “lineage lessons.”
Rose and
Ingalls cover the basics extremely well. This guide is accessible, nicely organized,
and clearly written. I found the chapter dedicated to resolving discrepancies
to be one of the most useful.
