The Genealogist's Companion and Sourcebook
The Resource for Researching U.S. Records
The Genealogist's Companion and Sourcebook gives you the thorough treatment of
U.S. records you need: not just what sources are available, but how they can aid
your research, how to access them, and how to use them. Emily Anne Croom,
author of the best-selling
Unpuzzling Your Past, invites you to explore the variety of
valuable sources—from territorial papers and fire insurance maps to records found
in archives and law libraries.
At 464 pages, the second edition comprehensively covers records nationwide with
research examples and success stories. Three in-depth case studies tap multiple
sources to solve research problems. Croom, known for her accessible style and
careful attention to detail, generously illustrates each chapter with sample records
and includes an extensive index.
Both an essential reference and a helpful how-to, the Companion and Sourcebook
can provide the knowledge base you need to take the next step in your genealogy.
As the author advises, you never know what gems await you in the records until
you look.
