Title: be cautious
Product review: I would caution any beginner at genealogy in using this book (and nobody but an absolute beginner would have a need). It appears to be biased towards the LDS Church. In one chapter about using church records, the author brags about the LDS Church and one other Protestant Church as being the best churches for keeping records of their members through their history. It fails to mention the Catholic Church and the fact that they have maintined records for hundreds of years. If one has Catholic relatives, as I do, the Catholic Church would be the logical place to look. Had I not already known this, I would have been left uninformed by this book. That is just one example. When one is done reading the book, one has a clear picture of the authors religion and biases. Not really what I was looking for. It is a shame, as the photographs and examples are beautifully done.
