It's a beautiful book, very thick at 799 pages, with gorgeous, full-colour photos on every page. It's organized in useful sections on kitchens, home offices, bedrooms, hallways and more. Whether you have some idea of how and where your ancestors lived or at a total loss about how to start your research, renowned genealogist Anthony Adolph shows you how to unravel your family history generation by generation and how to unlock your search when the trail goes cold.
