Reviews - Cindy Carman does a chapter by chapter review of the book:    "Complete Beginner's Guide to Genealogy, the Internet, and Your Genealogy Computer Program" by Karen Clifford

This is without question the most well written book available not only for learning how to do genealogy but also for learning how to use today's genealogy tools. As an added plus, the book is full of charts, graphs, and cartoons which made reading it easy and fun. The cartoon illustrations increased my ability to remember the principles being taught and the step by step guides and charts gave me a visual road map to the accomplishment of my research goals.
