Does that book title ring something in your mind? It might should because for 50 years this book by Val Greenwood has been "the gold standard" textbook for learning how to do American genealogy.
I tuned in to hear Val Greenwood during RootsTech because I was kinda surprised to learn he was still going strong. I say that because the first edition of his book was in 1969! During that RootsTech interview, he said "The computer age was born, grew up, had children and now grandchildren. My book's first edition did not mention "technology" and the second edition had only a brief chapter. The advances in technology are both mind boggling and wonderful."
"Much has and will continue to change but the basics of genealogy will not change...... we still seek adequate evidence to document our ancestors' lives."
Val Greenwood's Researcher's Guide to American Genealogy would be a super addition to your library and a perfect personal study textbook. Be sure to get the 4th Edition, 2017. You can order the book from Amazon or from Genealogical Publishing Company.
