Commercials for the largest subscription database indicate that the process of genealogy is simple—you just “plug in” what you know, and the database does the rest! Those ads might sell subscriptions, but they are misleading. Getting beyond that “low-hanging fruit” is not so easy; collecting the records and data needed to delineate a family tree accurately requires time, organization, and informed searching. Records are available from many places, and finding them is never a “one-stop shopping” experience. So how does the new researcher identify which resources meet his or her specific research needs? And how can libraries and librarians best help this new generation of genealogists? Genealogy: A Practical Guide for Librarians offers help on several levels: First, librarians can use this book to learn what resources, both print and online, their library should offer their patron base. This means not only what monographs to purchase and subscription databases to maintain, but what websites to highlight at the library’s webpage, what to include in their online tutorials, what adult education programming is appropriate. Critical assessments of print and online resources are given, including the strengths and weaknesses that librarians need to help patrons understand them. Second, both librarians and researchers can find here an in-depth discussion of the research process itself, including the best steps for a beginning researcher and search strategies for the experienced one. And third, anyone can use this book to become better informed about the phenomenon of genealogy itself and about the latest standards for online searching and research. The book includes practical advice for every public-service librarian and offers all researchers, from novice level to experienced, a clearly delineated context for the popular subject of family history research.

Genealogy with a slant…the author began genealogical research in 1951 while in graduate school at Columbia University. A recent review of several months concerning the present state of the field of genealogy has prompted the book.That things would be very different now is obvious and expected. That the changes would be so far-reaching was unexpected. The appearance of computers, the internet, and other technologies has greatly accelerated the changes. A major thesis of these pages is that the resultant changes have not all been good ones.“The Practical Genealogist” attempts to review, reiterate, and reinforce the sound, basic rules of genealogical research. It's a result of a survey of the myriad of new resources and tools currently available. Technology means speed! New software and hardware are getting faster and faster but genealogy doesn't lend itself to a “rush-rush” approach. Although touted by the hi-tech companies, speed isn't necessarily a good thing. If left in its proper place as a tool in genealogical research, and not as its most important element, technology can give the work a real boost. Technological advances improve the implementation of the basics but can't replace them. Increased speed in the handling of data results in a more rapid and widespread disbursement of bad data as well as the good. It can distort and blur the results. In genealogy there are efficiencies but no shortcuts. This book should show the route to quality genealogies. Its overriding theme: “Fundamentals remain at the core”.
