The sub-title says it all--Creative Techniques for Overcoming Obstacles, Removing Roadblocks & Unlocking Your Family History! Written for the intermediate genealogist, W. Daniel Quillen’s latest book demystifies some sources likely overlooked by even experienced researchers. By the time I was finished, the book was sprouting a headdress of yellow sticky notes, and I’d made plans to check out alien registration records, passport applications, and land grants, to name just a few. Quillen even devotes chapters to comparing different types of family tree software and subscription databases, and he ends every chapter with a helpful checklist. The book was published in 2010, so the appendix listing books and websites is up-to-date.
The Troubleshooter's Guide is available in print through Interlibrary Loan, but I may just have to buy a copy of my own!
