Reviews of the book Family Treasures
The
following reviews have been provided by genealogists who have read and
used the book to enrich their research.
Family Treasures is just that, a Genealogical Treasure
"From
the beginning, this is a book that is designed to help the genealogy
researcher accomplish more and in a more logical way. After starting two
family tree projects about eighteen months ago, I adopted suggestions
from a handful of newsletters along the way. What I found was a mixture
of methodologies that didn't always work together well. My solution was
to stop using the ineffective processes."
"The
author, Barry Ewell, has the insights, ideas, and methods that seem to
have evolved over years of genealogy researching. Most important for me
is his way of keeping track of the work. "Where is it?" is a phrase that
comes up too often in my conversations and thoughts. Maybe you can
remember every research project you've taken on in the past year or
more. I have too much going on to recollect what I've worked on, what
the results were, and how it fits with my current work. Thank you, Barry
Ewell, for making my genealogy work better, more efficiently, and
faster." Dennis
Family Treasures 15 Lessons, Tips, and Tricks for Discovering your Family History
"This
is an excellent book for the beginning genealogical Research. Full of
great ideas, tips and resources to complete your research projects." Kathy
Learning My Lessons
"This is one of those books that I wish I had been able to read when I first began researching my family history.
Barry's
suggestions about ways to keep the answers to those questions organized
would have helped me to make better use of my research time. Using his
approach to research, focusing on events rather than records, might have
made my ancestor hunting a little more fruitful." Sherry
Great "How To" for Beginning Genealogist & Great Refresher Book
"I
wish this book had been around six years ago when I first began my
genealogy research. I was so lost and didn't know where to begin. I was
fortunate enough to go to a Family History Fair where Mr. Ewell spoke. I
was impressed by his knowledge and expertise in researching and how to
organize your research plan BEFORE you go to a source." Lamb
For any and all genealogists!
"I
would challenge any seasoned genealogist to read this and not find some
new tip or a clearer explanation of something they already knew about.
I feel this book will make your research blossom anew for you, your
uninterested-in-genealogy relatives, your clients or your students. I've
been researching awhile and I took copious notes for myself in
reviewing Family Treasures." Donna
Very helpful resource, especially for beginners
"I
would definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in genealogy,
but especially new genealogists. With his easy, clear narrative style, I
enjoyed reading Ewell's book. With his well organized approach to
family history research, Ewell walks us step by step through the process
that helped him become an avid genealogist.." Monifa
Family Treasures: a treasure
"This
is a very comprehensive book of genealogical resources and organization
tips with a step by step approach ideal for the beginning genealogist. I
was captivated by the introduction. Anyone who has done genealogy has
experienced some of these same miracles." Susan
Family Treasures: 15 Lessons, Tips & Tricks for Discovering Your Family History
"Those
serious about finding and accurately documenting their ancestors, their
families, and fleshing out a picture of their lives together now have a
volume designed to enable them to do that. Family Treasures guides you
in your research to find that elusive ancestor while continuing to be
an "easy read"." Richard
Great Help, Great Read
"
I just returned from spending two days at a genealogy expo - $75.00
dollars to attend. Add in a half tank of gas and two days of convention
center food! And in two days, sitting at my desk in my bathrobe, I
learned more from Barry Ewell's book, Family Treasures, than at the
expo." Mike
