I get a lot of emails from readers wanting to know if I've written a book. Well, finally I can say that I have. "The Everything Family Tree Book, 2nd edition" is now available online and in stores.

Dedicated to my four wonderful grandparents (both living and deceased), the Everything Family Tree Book: Research and Preserve Your Family History, by Adams Media, provides tips and methods for successful family tree sleuthing, including:

• Genealogical research methods & strategies
• Systems for filing and organizing your research
• DNA testing and medical genealogy
• Surname origins and meanings
• Chapters for each major record type
• Researching at the courthouse, library and Family History Center
• Internet search strategies and databases covered side-by-side with more "traditional" resources in each chapter

I hope that you will enjoy this book and that it will be of assistance to you in your search for your roots. Feedback is welcome!
