Before I do this review, I need to point out the book I read was an older version. I've found at least one newer version. Given how much has changed in the world of finding information, that is a good thing. That said the older version can still be useful. This was a pretty good read. I knew much of the information already, but it never hurts to see what new ways of finding information might be out there. For example, I didn't realize military records were that accessible. I do like the fact that she stresses to do no harm and to be cautious when contacting someone you might not have seen in a long time. I also liked how she stresses that there are ways to obtain information within the realm of the law. There's also a lengthy list towards the back of the book of addresses and such, as well as an information "checklist." This is a handy guide for those wishing to find someone- an adoptive parent (or child), a missing military friend, a long-lost sweetheart.
