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

Yes, kerry. I found a pile of old copies of Family Tree Magazine - priced 14p per copy.

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.
