FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: A Guide to Knowing Your Past: A New Manual on Genealogy Published Genealogy is a growing interest in many public and private fields. For many individuals, it has even become a serious quest. However, with every endeavor there is always an obstacle and many ancestry traces have been unsuccessful because of cold trails or a simple lack of knowledge and the right tools and methods. A new e-book on the finer points of genealogy may just be the answer to these problems. Marion, Iowa (PRWeb) February 6, 2007 – Genealogy has been practiced for thousands of years and yet, it was only in the 1970s when it enjoyed a resurgence. Thanks to the novel, 'Roots', genealogy has become a serious interest among many professionals and amateurs. Unfortunately, with lost files, incomplete records and bad memory, many have found it extremely difficult to progress in their search. This very same problem has confounded the author during the first stages of his own search for his family roots. "I have always been curious about my family history," the author says. "And when I tried to trace it back, I encountered a lot of bumps along the road – dead ends, bad references, dead files, you name it. Trying to go beyond 50 years of family history is already trying enough. Imagine going back a hundred or more years!" Frustrated with the lack of simple yet comprehensive resources to aid him in his research, the author decided to create one. Using first-hand experience, notes and reliable resources, the author was able to produce a guide to make genealogy search easier. The quest to find his own family ancestry helped the author uncover resources and methods that were not often available to beginner genealogists. The result of his research is the new e-book 'Genealogy: Uncovering Your Ancestry' which is now being made available for download online. The e-book, the author says, is the result of years spent researching his background and uncovering resources that pushed his search forward. "When someone tells you you may have a royal lineage, your most immediate reaction would probably that of dismissal," the author says. "And yet, many of us here are descendants not only of royals but also of some of the greatest poets, thinkers, revolutionaries and scientists mankind has ever produced. If you've never been curious about your ancestors, I believe this is the right time to be." The e-book contains the most complete topics and techniques to help anyone who wishes to trace back his family lineage. It contains subjects such as methods and techniques in tracing family history, tools and aids to use for effective genealogical searches, the role of DNA in genealogy, overcoming major obstacles in every search and many more. Readers who have used this e-book with considerable success have called it the definitive manual for genealogy. "I believe genealogy is our way to reclaim our past," the author says. "We need our roots, regardless of what people say, because these are our links to our very own selves. Knowing who our ancestors are goes beyond the curiosity factor. Knowing who they are and how they lived lets us know ourselves better. That is why I strongly believe this new e-book can help anyone who decides to take the first step."
