Whether you are new to genealogy or you are an experienced genealogist, there is a good chance that there may come a time when you want to buy some books about genealogy. Perhaps you want a couple of introductory guides that can point you in the right direction as you begin researching your family history. Maybe you have been working on your family history for a while and you want to learn how to do research in a particular group of records or check whether there are some helpful hints for getting around a brick wall that you have encountered. It is possible that you want to learn more about your ancestors from a particular area and you are looking for books about that specific place.
There are a lot of good genealogy books out there, but how do you know which ones to choose? Would it make your book shopping a little easier if you were able to purchase books from an online bookstore that was established by a very reputable professional genealogist? If so, you may want to take a look at rootsbooks.com. Roots Books is run by none other than Dick Eastman, noted genealogist and publisher of Eastman’s Online Genealogy Newsletter.
Since Dick Eastman is a professional genealogist with years of experience, you can rest assured that the items that are offered for sale through Roots Books are of good quality and useful. There are many categories of genealogy resources at Roots Books, from beginner’s guides to problem solving manuals and resources for researching particular geographic areas and ethnicities. There’s plenty of technology too, for those of you who are looking for some useful genealogy tools like document scanners and e readers. It is worth mentioning that I have received nothing from Roots Books or Dick Eastman in exchange for mentioning them here.
