About This Book

A practical guide for those pursuing family history that explains sources and methods of research, including archives, deeds, wills, church registers, tombstones, libraries, and societies. It emphasizes applying the historical method to ensure accuracy and contrasts clan or tribe-centered genealogies with a Grafton Plan for tracing many ancestors of a single descendant. The text offers concrete advice on compiling records, labor-saving notebook systems, and the steps involved in printing and publishing genealogical work, while warning against unsound practices and outlining services and workflows useful to both amateurs and professionals.

FOOTNOTE:

[7] Correspondence is invited with all who have a genealogy, small or pretentious, either in hand, in preparation, or in prospect. Address, The Grafton Press, Genealogical and Biographical Department, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York City.
