Abstract As a discipline of history, genealogy is being used with increasing regularity in classrooms at all levels. Public historians and local historians use family histories to discover medical patterns across generations; to trace adoptee families; or to find materials for fictional or historical works. This guide brings together both print and Internet resources, to assist family historians in their efforts, and professionals at all levels to direct their patrons as they explore their family heritage.
