Title: Netting
Your Ancestors
Author: Cyndi Howells
Publisher: Genealog P
Date Published: October 1997 |
Netting Your Ancestors is designed not
only to show you how to use the Internet in genealogical research but how to take maximum
advantage of this extraordinary research tool. Written by genealogist and computer whiz
Cyndi Howells, creator of the award-winning web site Cyndi's List of Genealogy Sites on
the Internet, it is a guide to the most powerful research tool since the advent of the
personal computer. This is no hollow claim, for in bringing resources from around the
world right into your home, the Internet makes genealogical research possible on a global
scale, in record-breaking time. With its clear, no-nonsense approach, Netting Your
Ancestors answers the most fundamental questions about genealogical research on the
Internet: How do I get online? What type of computer hardware and software do I need? What
do I do once I'm online? Where do I start? What type of information is available? The
answers to those questions, rendered in plain English, will help you to discover
genealogical resources and finding-aids beyond your wildest dreams. What's more, you'll be
able to communicate with researchers around the world, exchanging data that otherwise
might take you a lifetime to find. To help you get the most out of your online research
time, Netting Your Ancestors focuses on the three most useful components of the Internet,
each of which is discussed in a separate chapter: E-mail, Mailing Lists and Newsgroups,
and the World Wide Web. Within each chapter, sections are devoted to software
requirements, guidelines, and the basic workings of each component, along with tips for
researchers who have already been online for a while. The last section in each chapter is
devoted to research strategies that will benefit both new and veteran online researchers.
The ability to exchange information on a global scale and to explore vast new databases
(as well as obscure factoids lurking at the edges of cyberspace) is what genealogical
research on the Internet is all about. And in this book, with the aplomb and assurance of
a seasoned Internet navigator, Cyndi Howells starts you out on your Internet journey of
exploration and discovery, guiding you confidently toward your goal. It's a trip you'll
never forget, even though you never leave home.

class. This workbook, with its reproducible forms of all kinds, will help those just
starting out, as well as those who have already begun to gather material, to organize, and

particularly helpful, as is the relationship chart--especially for answering the
