Kindle for Genealogists

I found this book very localised and would suit genealogists researching in the USA only and not suited to researchers in other countries for example New Zealand, Australia, England, Scotland or Europe. There was no indication of this in the description prior to buying the book. I can only review it as someone with no American research.

A tedious way to do family research, but the information is very useful and I learned alot about the families in the area.  Recommended for genealogists.

Don't you wish there was an easy button in genealogy !!!
Unfortunately there is not, but this e-book is full of practical, sound and helpful tips to help you succeed.
It caters from the beginner right up to the advanced researcher including professional genealogists.
You will refer back to this guide time and time again.

Wonderful to read anything written by your great grandfather.  So wished it contained either some family info, or some personal info, but so glad to have it anyway.  Kudos to whoever decided this was worthy of getting into print!

We have just added this 10th edition to the Genealogy Collection at our library, and I know it will be a patron favorite.  The 9th edition was 386 pages;  the new 10th is 880.  There are chapters on the United States, each individual state, and 19 foreign countries. The maps included are clear, gorgeous and in color. The individual chapters contain excellent lists of sources including published material and repositories.  Information is given on dates of county formation, parent counties, and record holdings.  Both mailing addresses and URLS are given.  The only drawback I found is that no listings are given for U.S. affiliates such as the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and U.S. Territories like Guam.  In the past, I have always steered patrons to ANCESTRY'S RED BOOK;  now I will be referring them to the 10th edition of THE HANDYBOOK FOR GENEALOGISTS.

I have had 5 or 6 successive Genealogy programs and each one is mostly better than the last one. There is one thing I keep looking for and that is a simple way to print a specific family page or pages listing family members and their details. I hoped that the new version would have it but not yet.
On the positive side, the layout is attractive, the maneuvering from person to person is very easy and I love that it automatically tells you how you are related to a person fro0m two hundred years ago. There is lots of room for writing stories and adding details that normally you would not think about doing.
Overall a good program and a good buy.

For those who habitually annotate and highlight their research and other reading material, this application is an absolute necessity as a companion to Kindle devices. I am able to call up passages and notes I've made on my Kindle reading devices and draw quotes and points directly from them for articles and posts, And the price is right! Good job, Amazon.

This has been my best genealogical resource. I carried it with me through Germany in 2002 and have used it since to read multiple forms of script and handwriting I've found in German church books. In addition to containing many examples of the way each letter may be written in records, there are also many examples of words commonly found in the old church records (occupations, illnesses, dates, etc)written out in various forms of script and explained in English. I have been able to uncover so much about my family with the aid of this book. Thank you Ms. Bentz for a true labor of love.

Not too sure yet if it is any better than the Ancestry site, but every bit helps in the Family tree exploration!

This is a quick fix - the book so quickly downloaded and ready to read - couldn't get any better than that!

While it took care of my immediate curiosity, I am still of the old days wanting a "hard copy" to glance back and forth in as well as the immediate ebook.  So, I am of both worlds and will PURCHASE both since the price is so right!  I can have one to access at any time and the hard copy to add to my family genealogical collection.

I've had a Kindle DX for a couple of years, but when my wife got me my Kindle Fire HD and I began using it, I was amazed with it and pleasantly surprised. The book reader part was, of course, familiar to me, but I like the ease of operation, the bookmarks, and the page turner, but I love the browser addition to searching. The only thing I miss is the ability to catalog my books. All the additional features, email, browsing, the apps, etc., make it a wonderfully useful tool. Thanks Amazon for this; so, when can we have the catalog back?

I am very glad that I purchased this book it has really helped in my search for ancestors.  I like having things in my hand to refer to, not just look at online.  I guess I may be from the old school but with a book I can highlight important things and flag pages that are informative.

Daniel Lynch has provided a critical tool for all Genealogists (or other internet searchers) that will help them find useful information by using simple algorithm related commands, such as, "..." , *, + -, ~ and syntax manipulation, etc. to find that nugget of information you desire.  I recommend this book highly, it is a great investment.

This scanner has made my genealogy research soooo much easier, and it's great to be able to grab copies of documents without paying the library for each page.  Very nice scans of both text documents and pictures, and they upload easily to my PC.  My only complaint is that I can't find the user manual online anywhere.  I've moved several times since receiving the scanner, and the manual has come up missing.  I need to reset the scanner's clock but need the manual.

An excellent book to have beside the Computer if you are doing research in Genealogy.
