Contents include how to start your research and the usual certificate and census stuff. Also articles on how to interview relatives, identify photos, clues in old hand-me-downs, how much someone found out about their Robson family (Northumberland area) in just 21 days, specialist archives, a beautiful calligraphied family tree example, DNA testing and heaps of useful websites and addresses - phew! I'm impressed, it is informative, nicely laid out and illustrated. This one is going to live on my genealogy shelf!
