Ancestry.com keeps growing with new records added every month, but how can you find your ancestors on the huge, and ever-changing website? In this workbook, an essential companion to the "Unofficial Guide to Ancestry.com", you'll learn how to use Ancestry.com to its full advantage with detailed guides to searching Ancestry.com's digitised records.

And with the worksheets and genealogy forms in each section, you can easily plan your own Ancestry.com searches and apply what you've learned.
