Family History Power Tools

I took the following quote from a book review I did back in September, 2011:

Crash Course in Family History, 4th edition, is the ultimate blend of utility and beauty. This colorfully-illustrated and artistically-designed book is as eye catching as it is useful. With this 2010, forth edition, author Paul Larsen has listened to what his audience needs are and improved on past editions, creating a handbook every genealogist should have in their library.” [click here to read the full review]

Crash Course in Family History is a popular resource directory for many family historians. The only downside to the guide, and other like it, is the inability to click on all those web links contained within the pages. Paul Larsen has devised the perfect cure for problem. Paul offer Crash Courses in Family History as an eBook. The book is part of Family History Power Tools: Essential Power Tools to Discover and Share Your Own Family Roots and Story.
