Family Tree Problem Solver »

Complications arising from incomplete or missing records, census irregularities, and individuals of the same name occur more often than non-genealogists might think. Respected genealogist and author Marsha Hoffman Rising helps beginners break through these "brick walls" by breaking down each researcher's common problem into a chapter with straightforward solutions. Readers will:
* Go straight to the answers they need without wading through theory or irrelevant records overviews
* Find explanations and case studies easily understood by beginning genealogists, yet still useful for more experienced researchers
* Learn what NOT to do in research to avoid hitting brick walls in the future

The result is the best and most accessible book on the market about overcoming obstacles, from Family Tree magazine and Family Tree Books, the sources of genealogy's most popular publications!
