Harvesting Your Family Tree - A Guide To Genealogy Research

Harvesting Your Family Tree:
A Guide To Genealogy Research by Wendy Swanson

Was great granduncle Ralph hanged for stealing horses, or did great-great grandpa George come to Southern Oregon in search of land or gold? 

It’s never too late to start down the path of tracing your ancestors. Even an Internet novice can be successful at finding obscure facts about their family members. 

Go from beginner to accomplished, with step by step instructions to take the mystery out of tracing your roots. 

The Southern Oregon author guides you through your research with easy to follow instructions, to keep you on the right path  to uncovering your family's information and ways to get around those seemingly impossible "dead ends." 

Complete guides to free research websites, state by state sources, and sites that give you access to ships passenger manifests, state archives, and volumes of important sources; and all at no cost. 

 Advanced genealogy sites for in-depth research and record keeping at minimal costs are also explained in detail. 

 Learn the best and most efficient ways to make contact with distant relatives who can help with the missing pieces of your family history puzzle. 

 By following the steps outlined in Harvesting Your Family Tree, you will be able to create and share what will become a family heirloom for your children, grandchildren, and any family members interested in learning about their roots.
