Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For anyone interested in finding their family roots in Northeast Ohio, this book combines practical how-to (and where to) instructions with inspirational family history success stories. Genealogy--family history research--is a fast-growing hobby. But it can be difficult to start. Official records are scattered in so many places, and each archive seems to have its own way of doing things. Where to begin? Vicki Blum Vigil, author of Cleveland Cemeteries and an experience researcher, knows her way around the most useful facilities (archives, libraries, churches, cemeteries, courts, and more) in this region. Her new book helps newcomers to genealogy (or to Northeast Ohio) figure out which places to look in and how best to use them. She also shares some personal success stories of fellow Clevelanders who have discovered really interesting things about their ancestors--they make for great how-to examples and fun reading, too!

Download or read book Finding Your Roots written by Henry Louis Gates Jr. and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2014-09-15 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who are we, and where do we come from? The fundamental drive to answer these questions is at the heart of Finding Your Roots, the companion book to the PBS documentary series seen by 30 million people. As Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates Jr. shows us, the tools of cutting-edge genomics and deep genealogical research now allow us to learn more about our roots, looking further back in time than ever before. Gates's investigations take on the personal and genealogical histories of more than twenty luminaries, including United States Congressman John Lewis, actor Robert Downey Jr., CNN medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta, President of the "Becoming American Institute" Linda Chavez, and comedian Margaret Cho. Interwoven with their moving stories of immigration, assimilation, strife, and success, Gates provides practical information for amateur genealogists just beginning archival research on their own families' roots, and he details the advances in genetic research now available to the public. The result is an illuminating exploration of who we are, how we lost track of our roots, and how we can find them again.
