Description: Gone are the days of Roots, when people had to travel to Africa (or sometimes further!) to learn about their ancestry. Now, more and more genealogists, both professional and amateur, are tapping into the vast research resources of the Internet to discover the secrets of whom they descend from -- and where those ancestors lived. The Complete Idiot's Guide to Online Genealogy is a fun, easy-to-follow guide to sleuthing around cyberspace to learn about your past. Not only is it packed with the addresses of genealogy Websites featuring searchable databases, it also shows readers how to use e-mail for quick, cheap communications with contacts around the world, and how to access bulletin board systems, online vendors, software demos, valuable tutorials, helpful articles, how-to guides, and dozens of other resources for finding out about their ancestry. They'll even learn how to connect with other researchers who are exploring the same extended family as theirs. It's the chance to connect with one's roots thousands of miles away right in the comfort of one's home.
