Review by Pettit's Genealogy on the Internet
I had a chance to read a new book this week that was quite interesting. "Genealogy on the Internet" is a 156-page paperback written by Sherri Pettit, UE. Ms. Pettit gives a very good overview of the topic of online resources to aid in your genealogy research. Each chapter gives a brief overview without going into great depth. However, most of the chapters do give references where the reader may find still more information, if desired.
The chapters in this book include:
The author and the publisher are Canadian, but most of the information in this book will apply anywhere in the world. The only exception is the section on dial-up bulletin boards; most of the ones listed in the book are in Canada. However, that consumes only a few pages. Everything else seems to apply equally to an international audience.
I particularly liked the "Privacy Online" chapter. This should be required reading for every new online genealogist!
While this is a small booklet, it does pack a lot of information within its covers. "Genealogy on the Internet" lists for 15.00 Canadian dollars, which works out to about $10.00 in U.S. funds. The company also lists a $5.00 (Canadian) shipping charge although they might want a bit more to ship to anyone outside of Canada. Anyone in the world can pay for this on a charge card and the credit card company will work out the conversion rate. International orders are simple when credit cards are used.
