I’ve been reading Ann S. Lainhart’s Digging for Genealogical Treasure in New England Town Records. I’ve already gotten several good ideas for my own research (I take notes in pencil right in the book) and, through reading the book, have added to my list of additional books that will help my understanding of records in this area.  While I’ve researched for thirty years, I’ve only recently discovered my New England forebears.

When was the last time you read a guide book?
