This has long been on my mental wish list of books to look at. Several months ago, I wrote down my wish list of family history books […]

Making a Research List of Published Family Histories

February 24, 2012 Tonia Kendrick

About Tonia

Hi, I am Tonia Kendrick. Genealogy is my hobby, my passion (those who say obsession would not be accused of crazy-talk). While I had helped my mom with genealogy as a teenager, I first caught the bug myself when computers came into the picture.
