Trace your roots anywhere in America with this compilation of our most popular series ever—the State Research Guides. This hardbound book contains the guides for all 50 states, plus bonus research guides to Puerto Rico and Washington, DC, which haven't been published in the magazine. The series doesn't conclude until March 2009, but you can get the not-yet-published guides to New Jersey, Mississippi, West Virginia and South Dakota now. The cost of ordering all the individual back issues would be $200! Each four-page State Research Guide features:
- A how-to article detailing the state's history and records, with helpful advice on tracking your family there
- The best Web sites, books and other resources for research in that state, handpicked by our editors and experts
- Listings of key libraries, archives and organizations that hold the records you need
- Descriptions of the top historic sites for learning about your ancestors' lives and times, including visitor information
- Timeline of key events in the state's history
- Full-color map to put your research in geographical context
