I have this book, also through an Ancestry subscription, and find it very helpful. It is a reference book, and big and heavy, so it isn't something to take with you on research trips. But it gives excellent descriptions of various record sources, how to utilize them, what to expect, etc. It also is available on CD-ROM from Ancestry as part of the Ancestry Reference Library (which sometimes comes with a subscription). It is handy to have the CD-ROM version for research trips (if you have a laptop) and to look things up quickly. But I like having the actual book for in-depth study of record sources. Let me know if you'd like more detailed information about the contents of the book. Sarajane Storm mailto:sarajstorm@home.com
