I'll be consulting this book off and on, but I didn't want to leave it on my "currently reading" shelf forever so I've rated it. So far it's been very helpful--a good resource. (

I read through this book fairly quickly - as a current user of Ancestry.com, I found that I had already figured out my much of the information here on my own. There were a few tricks that were new to me, but on the whole, the book was not all that useful for me as a somewhat experienced user. For someone new to the site, particularly someone new to online research in general, I think this guide could be helpful. It didn't go much beyond basic techniques, though. (
