Summary: Keeping up with the on-line world - Again!
Comment: I just finished reading over "Genealogy Online" newest edition - for the first time. Obviously, this newest Millennium Edition is one that I will be using for reference on a continual basis. Ms. Crowe's newest revision is not only a very precise tool for guidance in on-line research, but also a wealth of information for all levels of genealogists. In the ever-changing world of the Internet it is very hard to present the "newest and best" of sites to hit. This book does that and more!

Summary: Outdated Material ... AGAIN
Comment: I was extremely disappointed in Ms. Crowe's "updated" book about online genealogical research. Each edition of this book has been consistently behind the times, and her millenium edition is no exception. While she has made some excellent points in her research reference, it is ,most unfortunate that her information about the Genealogy Forum on America Online is so terribly outdated. The screen shots she has included are of screens that were replaced well over a year ago, and there is no mention of some of the excellent, newer resources there. If this is any indication of how current her descriptions are of other resources included in her book, many genealogists will hit the ground running a year or more behind. Ms. Crowe is a good writer. It's regretable she hasn't invested her time in making sure her material is more current.
Also, shame on the publisher for including a copyright date of the year 2000 in September 1999! They're obviously trying to extend the salability date of this book. Isn't there a copyright law to prevent this?

Summary: How to organize a search, where to begin, where to go
Comment: This newly revised and expanded seventh edition of Elizabeth Crowe's Genealogy Online is a thoroughly "user friendly', 432 page, hands-on, instructional resource which will enable even the most novice genealogist to deftly explore the truly vast resources of ancestry related networks, Web sites, and genealogical online services. Crowe authoritatively explains how to determine and access which ones best suit individual genealogist's purposes. Genealogy Online clearly, step-by-step, shows how to organize a search, where to begin, where to go on the Web, and how to use chat rooms, mailing lists, and Usenet effectively. No genealogical research reference shelf can be considered either complete or up-to-date without the inclusion of this impressive new edition of Elizabeth Crowe's Genealogy Online!
