Who's Your Daddy? is not just another genealogy book!

Who's Your Daddy? is a basic guide for the "rest of us," those who are more interested in learning about their heritage than about creating a philosophical tome which no one will ever read, or a "book of begats" designed to impress the reader. In most cases those books become great sleeping pills.

Who's Your Daddy? encourages you to have fun with your new hobby while reminding you to follow the rules of recording sources so you don't wind up with egg on your face.

Who's Your Daddy? shows you how to research at home, on the Internet, in county court houses, in libraries, in cemeteries, in church records, and best of all, on the road to visit the places where your ancestors lived, loved, and died. (Note: Genealogy provides a great excuse to travel!)

Who's Your Daddy? explores basic rules of genealogical evidence, evaluation of source materials, research methods, and includes extensive guidance on Web-based research and DNA study. Plenty of "True Story" examples and clear illustrations are included to show you the way.

Who's Your Daddy? covers WHY you should do the work, HOW you can do it, WHEN to stop and publish to share it.

Chapters include:

  • Getting started and having fun
  • Writing your own memoir
  • Obtaining DNA-based records
  • Deciding how much genealogical research is enough
  • Organizing your findings
  • Seeing your ancestors as characters in a saga
  • Interviewing an older relative
  • Showing how online records can be effectively used by genealogists
  • The book reflects new and updated websites, improved strategies for locating records, the latest software programs for recording your findings, and publishing your memoir.
