YOU WILL WANT TO BUY MORE THAN ONE COPY OF THIS BOOK! Why?
You will want one copy to create a scrapbook collection of your personal copies of primary ancestry data (birth and death certificates, copies of marriage registries, photos) in a three-ring binder or scrapbook. Adding more documentation for an ancestor and building a picture of your family makes your research more impactful.
You will want a second copy as a 'write in the margins' reference tool you take on your research journeys to libraries, book archives, book stores, and collections (e.g., history museums). One seldom is able to carry a computer or have fingertip databases available in these research trips, so using the book to compare notes can help you when you return home to record your findings.
You will want multiple copies to gift to your family members. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Dawn D.
