| A lively, interactive, up-to-date guide to the wonderful world of genealogy, "Climbing Your
Family Tree" makes the prospect of tracking down your ancestors into an engaging,
exciting activity for kids — and adults. The 227-page book talks about children and adults
who uncovered remakable stories about their families; tells the tale of immigration to the
United States; reveals how to uncover dozens of public documents about your family—
and how to find many of them online; and explains the mystery and history behind our
surnames (did you know that Kovacs, Herrera, Haddad, and Ferraro all mean "Smith"—
and are among the most common names in their respective languages?)
"Climbing Your Family Tree" is also the first genealogy book to extensively cover how
children from non-traditional families—blended and adoptive families, single-parent
households, gay and lesbian families, etc—can research and proudly display their
findings, with the use of a few new and adapted charts and forms.
School Library Journal said that "Climbing Your Family Tree" is "the best children's book
available on the subject, and will be profitable and inspiring to adults as well." Ideal for
children ages 10 and up, "Climbing Your Family Tree" includes a dictionary of American
last names and has a companion website where downloadable charts and forms are
available free of charge. |
