review 1: A good book to learn about family history. While this is connected to the TV show of the same name, the only time it mentioned the TV show is in a small glossy insert where it explains some of the celebrities' stories. It's a good book for beginning to intermediate genealogists. Some of the middle gets dry (but how exciting can vital and census records get?), but otherwise it's pretty engaging. It explains the purpose of family history, some sites you can use for a variety of tasks, an explanation on finding and using basic records and some random tips and stories. I would recommend this for people thinking about dipping a toe in the family history pool.
review 2: This is a companion guide to the NBC series, and the middle section retells the stories of the ep... moreisodes of the first season. This book is also a 200-page guide to researching your own family tree, suggestions for the software that makes recording the history so much easier than paper filing, and suggestions for websites (fee-based and free) that can get you started from home. I am a hobbyist, and I still found some websites to search from this book. I can recommend both beginners and hobbyists read it. less
