Tip - Genealogy Tutorials

When you are just starting out with genealogy, things can seem a bit daunting. So it can really help to review some tutorials specifically geared towards getting you up to speed quickly.

The following websites have great tutorials for the newcomer:

- RootsWeb - http://www.rootsweb.com/

A great book to look for is Unpuzzling Your Past: A Basic Guide to Tracking Your Family's Genealogy, by Emily Anne Croom (4th ed., Betterway Publications, 2001), an excellent beginner's guide with enough detail to keep you busy locating new sources for many years.
