Book, 12/01/97:
Genealogy has always been a laborious, time-consuming hobby, but the
Internet-connected home computer has changed all that. In Genealogy
Online, Elizabeth Powell Crowe presents modern-age genealogy tips,
tricks, and resources to the family historian. Be aware that Crowe focuses
on genealogists who wish to learn how to use computer resources rather
than on computer users who wish to learn how to do genealogy. She spends
a fair amount of time discussing cyberspace basics--what the Internet is,
how to use modems, netiquette, and choosing an ISP. Crowe then gives examples
of the help that can be found on ROOTS-L and other mailing lists, the Web,
and various bulletin board systems. The Web section alone offers connections
to 50 of the most helpful research sites. Although she discusses at length
such invaluable services as the National Genealogical Society BBS, online
library card catalogs, and a number of genealogical databases, she doesn't
overlook one of the researcher's most valuable resources--other researchers.
Crowe guides the reader to a number of places where genealogists exchange
tips and discoveries, including numerous newsgroups and genealogical forums
on the various online services.

Powell Crowe ([email protected]) , 08/29/97:
A guide to finding your family history with online resources
I've tried to gather up the best, most basic, and simplest ways to
use online resources in genealogy. This book does not try to teach you
the basics of genealogy but rather the basics of this method of research.
I'm open to suggestions and comments for upcoming editions!
