How many of your great-grandparents can you name? What were their lives like? Are you curious to learn more?
Start getting answers today with the best-selling Unpuzzling Your Past! With wit and enthusiasm, Emily Croom provides the tools and information you need to begin your family history adventure, with step-by-step guidance, forms to copy, places to look, and interesting examples each step along the way.
Throughout the book, you will find- Strategies for success
- Tips for getting the most from names, dates, and handwriting of the past
- Suggestions of "Things To Do Now" to apply what you have learned

Besides gathering names and dates, genealogists want to learn how their ancestors lived and how they fit into the history happening around them. Focusing first on the family as a source of this kind of information, the book provides interview formats and ideas for tapping family papers and keepsakes, oral tradition and memories. It also introduces you to research and the multitude of public records helful in identifying and learning about ancestors--from newspapers and cemeteries to censuses and land records.
Unpuzzling Your Past is great for both individual and classroom use. For this updated and revised fourth edition, Croom has expanded information on public records, added useful Internet addresses, and included a chapter-length case study of a search to identify female ancestors.
