[Terry]

Despite its brevity, this is an excellent resource for any genealogist. Rubincam succinctly addresses ten instances where we can all easily err.

[Kristina Rogers]

A very short but helpful book, especially if you too have found yourself, in this time of Carona, a few weeks in to a new genealogical research hobby. In my limited dig into my own family’s history I’ve already encountered 3-4 of these pitfalls and expect that I will run into others as I continue.
