Written by Ian Wolfman, Foreword by Alex Haley, and Illustrations by Michael Klein.
The book was published in 1991 and now, (2022) we have so many more tools for genealogy research. Cell phones, the internet, more research sites which are a great addition to land line phones and addresses.

It's a great resource, providing places/addresses/websites to begin searching, like cemetaries, ship manifests, census documents, marriage and death certificates. It also features interesting photos of immigrants arriving on Ellis Island.
