Climbing Your Family Tree  Climbing Your Family Tree

By Ira Wolfman

Price: $13.95

Now completely revised, updated, retitled, and filled with detailed guidance on utilizing the Internet, Climbing Your Family Tree is both a comprehensive, kid-friendly genealogical primer for the 21st century and a dramatic story of how and why our ancestors undertook the arduous voyages of immigration to this nation. It teaches kids to track down important family documents, including ships' manifests, naturalization papers, and birth, marriage, and death certificates; create oral histories; make scrapbooks of photos, sayings, and legends; and compile a family tree. A full chapter is devoted to the online search, and relevant Internet information has been incorporated into all the other chapters. Also new are more kids' genealogical stories and a reworked, easier-to-use design. Supporting the book will be a Web site that will include record-keeping pages, links to sites in the book, and more.

Ira Wolfman, the former editor-in-chief of Sesame Street Magazine, is a writer whose articles have appeared in Travel + Leisure, Redbook, Ms., and other publications.

240 pages, paperback, ISBN 0761125396, Workman Publishing, 2002
