Thanks to those who answered my question regarding The Researcher's Guide to American Genealogy. I actually have the 3rd edition as a digital download that I read on my Nook. I decided it would be easier to have the book, so thought before I bought the same edition, I would hold off for a new edition. I appreciate your help. (Hope Melinda's new grandchild has come. We just celebrated two granddaughters' birthdays, Nov 29 for the 3 yr old and Dec 1 for the one year old in the same family. So fun! but lots of work for their parents) Margie in Washington State
