I read the following info on the Legacy genealogy web site, thought people who do not use the program and do not know about the free copy of this book would be interested. Jay Ingalls ==================== From the Legacy News web site http://www.legacynews.typepad.com/: Free 1st edition of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Genealogy The 2nd edition of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Genealogy, written by genealogy superstars Christine Rose and Kay Germain Ingalls, was published in 2005, and is jam-packed of great genealogy advice for beginners and experienced researchers. The 1st edition, published in 1997, is now available as a free download. Much has changed in the 8 years since the first edition, but sound genealogy principles remain.
