Voices in Your Blood: Discovering Identity Through Family History

From Library Journal Vandagriff, a Polish and Soviet affairs expert by training, offers a new kind of introductory guide to genealogy: a highly autobiographical work that teaches one how to unearth one's past by following the procedures she used to search for her own family. Both entertaining and educational, this guide places family history in a historical context. Equally valuable is its treatment of computer use for genealogical research, including FamilySearch, the Family History Library's computer system on CD-ROM, and genealogy software. More traditional subjects are also covered: census data, surnames, and vital, military, and immigration records. Newcomers to family history research may find this novel-like book more approachable than traditional handbooks as a first resource. Others, especially more experienced researchers, will find the lack of ready references limiting. For comprehensive collections. - Judith P. Reid, Library of Congress
