A Genealogy Guide for Young People
Softbound volume totaling
128
pages. Book is in new condition. Just what you need  for genealogy research. Per the publisher;
Many youngsters are curious about their heritage. They know their  parents, and if they are lucky they know--maybe even live with--one or more  grandparents. But the average elementary school boy or girl (in the fourth  through sixth grades, say) only knows about living relatives. This book will  help them learn more, to dig more deeply, to understand how to do the research  necessary to create a simple family tree. It will give them both the tools and  the appetite to learn more about their roots, to uncover the stories and events  that make them and their families unique.
Roots for Kids
is  based on a twelve-week course the author developed for her fourth grade class.  Each chapter is based on a forty-five minute classroom session. While the book  is suitable for teachers seeking to supplement their social studies curriculum  with material on family history, it will be used principally by a whole range of  young people in their first attempt at genealogical research.
The book is written at a level appropriate to its audience. The  author moves slowly and carefully as she takes the young readers through an  introduction to genealogy, then to discussions of their families and their  parents' families, teaching them how to ask questions, how to organize their  materials, and how to use the Internet to conduct research in local, state, and  national records. This second edition, moreover, explains how easy it is for  these youngsters to explore genealogy databases and to tap into the online  resources of libraries and historical societies without leaving home.
A native of Burlington, Vermont, Susan Beller has been involved  in genealogical research for more than three decades. In addition to her  teaching experience with young people, she has taught advanced genealogy courses  to adult education classes.
