Excellent beginners guide.
I received a copy of this book with my purchase of the Generations family tree software programme.Being new to the Internet but not to family history, I found this book to be well written in easy-to-understand text. It was particularly helpful in explaining genealogy mailing lists and how best to participate. I recommend this book to all of my friends now.

A good starting point for family tree research
I recieved this book with my purchase of "Generations" family tree software.As I had not spent much time on the Internet before this, I found the book to be very handy in explaining how to use the Internet effectively for my family tree research. I now keep the book next to my PC for easy reference. The thing that stands out about this book is its emphasis on the less visible but more powerful parts of the Internet when working on your family tree. It does cover world wide web sites for genealogy but doesn't stop just with these. The effective use of e-mail and genealogy mailing lists are covered in great detail from a family tree researcher's perspective. If you want to have your e-mail posts about your family tree get the right kind of response, this book tells you how to do it.

A solid book for beginners
This book was very useful to me for demystifying the arcane world of the Internet. The book's family history perspective and examples are directed toward the genealogical researcher who is new to the Internet. It was a great help to me and I highly recommend it.
