This book is a cut above many popular genealogy "how to" books.

I'm really picky about genealogy books, and this one is excellent. Most books don't discuss carefully evaluating evidence and really thinking through problems associated with conflicting information, burned counties, brick walls etc. The "thinking" in this book and the examples of alternative sources one may not be familiar with are what is outstanding. In addition, Ms. Rising's examples are clear, easy to follow and informative, and there are many of them. Her research methods are applicable to ANY time period you are working in. I disagree with another reviewer who complained that this book won't help someone with "late" immigrant ancestors.

I'm an experienced genealogist and a trained researcher who has been working for 25 years on my family lines. The land chapter, in particular, and the chapter on working in the years between the Revolutionary War and 1850, gave me several directions to go in knocking down some brick walls.

Beginners as well as experienced researchers will benefit from this book. What will help doing genealogy research most of all is knowing how to evaluate what you have and how to recognize what else you need. This book does much more!

I am new to genealogy, but have hit a wall on one of my ancestors. "Normal" avenues of research are not there, but this book has given me several ideas that should further my search. How good is this book? I have had it for a month and I have read it cover-to-cover twice. Every time I re-read a chapter I find something new. It is clearly and enjoyably written; yes it is a fun read. I cannot say how an extremely experienced researcher would feel about the book, but I ran a couple of ideas by an experienced genealogy researcher, and she told me that my strategies were solid and almost certain to yield new information. Just one more thing . . . I did not read the chapters in order. I read them based on my interest. As a result, I ended up reading the first chapter, last. Reading in that manner, Chapter I served to pull everything else together. This book is thought provoking and loaded with good ideas.

This was the best book I have found by far to help me with some of the problems I have come across with tracking my family genealogy. It didn't just spit out websites, it actually shows you how to use sites, and how to read the information on those sites. You also get a chance to see actual examples of problems that arise with information that is found on some sites that can be confusing and how to decipher some clues out of the smallest bits of information.

The case studies are very in depth and the examples are explained in detail so that you understand how the end conclusions were determined. I learned the meaning of many legal terms that were used in the past that would be found in old documents. That was very helpful because they are not words that are commonly used today and are interpreted in totally different ways today.

If you are having some trouble finding information on some, or even one of your ancestors, I recommend that you purchase this book. It is a wealth of information and a great resource for those old legal documents that can be so confusing.
