Genealogy for Beginners Made Simple

You have wondered about your grandparents, the places they lived, the stories no one wrote down. But every time you open a genealogy website, the tabs, terms, and subscription offers leave you closing the laptop. Walter Hemsley wrote this book for readers exactly like you. Following a patient, step-by-step approach, it shows every click without assuming you already know the jargon. Inside, you will find plain guidance on getting comfortable with your own device, choosing your first genealogy website, and building your first family tree online. You will also learn to search birth, marriage, and death records and to read old documents without stress. By the last page, you will have a simple family tree spanning at least three generations, digital copies of key records saved, and a personal research plan you can continue on your own. When you are ready, turn the first page.
