A basic, how-to book written primarily to prepare librarians to
assist genealogy researchers, this guide can also be used by those
who wish to discover and document their family histories. There has
been an explosion of interest in genealogy recently, with popular
series running on PBS (Faces of America), NBC (Who Do You Think You
Are?) and BYU-TV (The Generations Project). Even Lisa Simpson did a
genealogy project for school. Part of the popular Crash Course
series, Crash Course in Genealogy will help librarians feel more
comfortable as they work with the increasing number of patrons
looking for assistance in researching their family trees. Beginning
with library genealogical services policies, the guide moves on to
cover genealogical research principles and most-used sources. It
also illustrates how one can perform a search backward in time
through American family history. The book includes information on
researching people of color, taking research to another country,
and adding DNA information to genealogical research. Examples from
the author's decades-long experience as a genealogist enrich the
text, while illustrations of census records and the like help
readers understand the research process. Timelines listing events
for each century in U.S. history that may have created records
about family members Illustrations of census records, pedigree
charts, family group sheets, and DNA results Maps of both
Y-chromosome (male) and mitochondrial (female) DNA haplogroups to
illustrate the deep historical migration of our ancestors
Activities and a reading list for expanding one's knowledge and
keeping up-to-date with current developments An extensive glossary
