Genealogy in Reverse: Finding the Living - A Practical Guide for all GenealogistsGenealogy often feels like a treasure hunt, and genealogists, like treasure hunters, run into “dead ends” all the time.

With step-by-step guidance, methodologies, and practical examples, Genealogy in Reverse. Finding the Living will give you the tools and confidence to find and make meaningful connections with living family members. This process, known as reverse genealogy, involves creating a detailed family tree, identifying relatives down both ancestral and collateral lines, and using modern tools to track them down.
