This book offers so much information for the family genealogist for using court records to locate information about the family. Christine writes in a way that is very easy to understand and a great resource for the beginner. I am one of those beginner family genealogists. This book has helped me so much. Not only will I be learning from it, but I will use it as a reference guide in the future. I would recommend anyone using court records for genealogy research to purchase the book.
