Description:
Drew Smith’s latest book, Generation by Generation: A Modern Approach to the Basics of Genealogy, results from his own experience over 30 years in reading and attempting to use countless beginners’ books, but finding something lacking. Learn what prompted Drew to identify a new way to approach basic genealogical research and what sets his beginners’ book apart from others.
