There
are many “how to” books for just about every aspect of
genealogical research.Also many of the major genealogy web
sites have online guides covering a large range of topics for
many countries, such as familysearch.org.However it is handy
to have some good books at home for reference and the
following is a very limited selection.Please appreciate this
list is a guide only and does not come with any particular
recommendations.
Also included below are links to book shops selling
genealogy items.Further, to get some idea of the range of
books available it is useful to visit a country’s National
Library web site and search their online catalogue.Many books
published in any one country also cover research in other
countries.
If you are just starting out to research your family
tree it is highly recommended that you obtain a good genealogy
computer program so as to record your findings.The online
bookshops below all sell a good selection of computer
programs.
