Guide Review - LDS Book Review - LDS Family History The Easy Way by Chuck Call
I found this book enlightening since I have never done my own Family History. I was a bit disappointed that I had to find other manuals although I was still able to start my search without them. This book has helped me to understand more about the purpose of Family History and how to get going. Internet access is required for certain parts of the book as well as downloading and installing a free Family History software program. This book will help readers know how to find, update, and share their records as well as prepare them for temple ordinances. What's great is that the e-book is only $3.95 so if you're looking for information on how to start your own family history then I recommend that you read this book.
