Yes. that's a really useful one, Kerry.

Look at car boot sales
I managed to pick up Ancestral Trails by Mark Herber for £1.00 2nd edition 2004
Didn't look as if had ever been opened
Person selling said it had come via a book club but it doesn't look like a book club edition, they are usually marked a club edition

Hi All
I have found "The Genealogist's Internet" by Peter Christian, publisher The National Archives, extremely useful for helping with searching the web. I am a bit surprised that I cannot find a reference to it when I searched Rootschat.
Good hunting

Great thread. I noticed the first posting was from 2003. Has anyone updated this book list since then?
I usually rely on my local library, charity shops or used book stores to purchase or obtain books. Amazing what one can find in a used book store. Local library patrons can make requests to the library system to purchase "books of general interest" which include genealogy.

Try "The Genealogists Internet" by Peter Christian
This book was a Christmas present a couple of years ago and got me hooked.

Is the list up to date? It's highly readable in itself. On Amazon and Abe's List I found a lot of sources' this one is general but perhaps useful, "The Organized Family Historian: How to File, Manage, and Protect Your Genealogical Research and Heirlooms." (National Genealogical Society Guides) by Ann Fleming.
I'm embarking, meaning beginning work in the Cobbledick family so I'm doing this from the ground up.
Cheers,
Scribener
