Everything the young genealogist needs to get started!

This book explains clearly and simply to kids how to get started researching their family tree. Ann Douglas delves into a bit of genetics and then talks about how kids can get started -- how to interview family members (including giving sample interview questions to use), tips on getting people's stories on audio or videotape, how to store their research, and gives great ideas on how to share the information learned with family members.The bright, colorful illustrations give the book a fun look, and the charts throughout the book are very helpful.
