Courthouse Research for Family Historians: Your Guide to Genealogical Treasures Reviews

Customer Rating:
Summary: In depth guide to courthouse research
Comment: This hefty volume is exactly what it says it is and then some. It doesn't beat around the bush by starting first with lessons on how to search and build your family tree like most books do (right down to what type of notebook you should use). Instead, it goes right to the heart of the matter - searching out legal documents on the courthouse level.

This book is very detailed and explains fully what you can find, how to find it, how to deal with staff, and more. This book would be best obtained when you have done most of your armchair work and have lists of names and some dates. Once you are ready to search out actual documentation at the courthouse level, this is a useful guide that can help you get through the hurdles.

Not for the beginner. Highly recommended for genealogists who are already well on their way to building their family tree.

Summary: Incredible -- once I get over my fears
Comment: I'm very new to genealogical research, and I know I'll eventually need to go to a courthouse to learn more about my family. This book is incredibly thorough in giving you information you'll be able to use. It's so thorough, in fact, that I feel a little scared about starting! When I do, though, I know I'll be well-prepared.
