Product Description

Finding ancestors is inextricably bound up with questions of place: Where did they live, and where did they go? Where are those records? But when researchers are ready to "jump the pond" and start tracing their roots in "the old country," the unfamiliarity of foreign places can make answers elusive.

This book shows genealogists how to get the information they need using the Internet, through correspondence and, when remote options are exhausted, going to the source in person. It combines the beginner-friendly how-to instruction that's made Family Tree Magazine the nation's #1 genealogy title with information-intensive directory listings, genealogy basics and travel guide savvy.

Dividing Europe into 14 sections-from Great Britain to Eastern Europe and everywhere in between-this book provides readers an introduction to each area's history, plus the basic how-tos of finding and using relevant records, including Internet mailing lists, organizations, archives and libraries, Web sites, genealogy societies, periodicals, vital records and more.

The Family Tree Guide Book to Europe is the only book of it's kind-packed with information that's unavailable anywhere else in a single volume.
