DNA and Social Networking: A Guide to Genealogy in the Twenty-First Century

Family history research has come a long way from the local record office - now twenty-first-century scientific and technological developments have changed the way we look into our family past, allowing us to delve further back. There are many tools which were not conceived with the genealogist in mind which are now increasingly eing exploited by family historians, either to advance their research or to network with other genealogists. Many family historians struggle to cope with these new technologies and need guidance on how to use these new tools effectively. Bang up-to-date, this book offers a guide on how to use social networking such as Facebook and Twitter as a research tool and explains the facts and potential of DNA testing for the genealogist. This is the future of family history.
