Mission Statement<\/strong>
\nWe are principally a “how to” publishing company, as we publish and sell many books on how to do genealogy research, but not a lot of books on specific families. We do not want to do your research for you. We want to teach and guide you in your own search. Yes, we do publish a few books of “Lists,” if they happen to be of such importance that we just can’t contain ourselves otherwise. And we have others either because we bought the remainder available of a title or because the publisher is drop-shipping them for us. We have a goal that if a book exists from one of the major genealogy publishers, we want you to find it on http:\/\/www.familyrootspublishing.com<\/a>\/ at a great price.<\/p>\n

\"Categories\"<\/a>
\nIn Pt. 1, I wrote about how the Categories are laid out at the Family Roots Publishing website. In this post, I would like to begin to tell you about what the main Categories are supposed to mean. I’m only dealing with categories Africa<\/em> through Computer<\/em> in this blog.<\/p>\n

Categories – Africa to Computer<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\"Africa\"<\/a>
\nAfrica<\/strong><\/a>
\nTop of the list. Supposed to have books and maps covering the continent of Africa. Only a few countries are covered, because not enough books are available on the subject! <\/p>\n

\"Asia\"<\/a>
\nAsia & Australia<\/strong><\/a>
\nAnother area not written about a lot by American publishers. Only Australia<\/a> and Russia<\/a> are extensively covered. Russia<\/a> is also covered under subcategory of “Europe<\/a>.” Note Russia being on two continents means there are two lists – meaning there may be different products in each list. (Russia<\/a>\/Russia,<\/a>) While writing this, I found two more products under the Europe<\/a> category than under the Asia<\/a> category.<\/p>\n

\"Author\"<\/a>
\nBy Author<\/strong><\/a>
\nThis is where you will find the lists of authors. Because there are so many we had to make Subcategories based on the first letter of their last name. <\/p>\n

\"Author<\/a>
\nExample:
\nMeitzler, Leland K.<\/a>
\nSorted under Author M<\/a> Subcategory or
\nDollarhide, William<\/a> Sorted under Author D<\/a> Subcategory<\/p>\n

\"Author<\/a>
\nNote: both of these authors also have further Subcategories.
\n“Leland K. Meitzler – Magazine Articles<\/a>” for Leland and for Dollarhide; whose name we like shorten \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
