Hello Everyone! Yesterday being payday I budgeted a few pesos to go down to the local Barnes & Noble (not an endorsement)and purchase a couple books to orient me to the nuts and bolts issues of doing family research: 1. "Idiot's GUIDE to GENEALOGY." (I have purchased a few of these guides over the years--a fun, informative series.) 2. "MyFamily.com Guide to Your Family Research." (Looked like an easy-going, well-organized introduction to this hobby.) As I am also interested in the more "sensitive" issues of family research, I picked up a copy of John Bradshaw's "Family Secrets." Highly recommended! (I would also recommend M. Scott Peck's "People of the Lie" in helping one to discern "lies" about origins, and how to respond compassionately.) I'd be happy to receive other recommendations re: books or articles on the Web. I'm especially interested in the philosophical dimensions of what we are doing. :) Blessings, John ===== "One more shot for the honour of Down!" -Rollicking Rollo (1766-1814) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
