Have you noticed how exciting books can be with all the latest technology for reading? The topic of genealogy lends itself to especially interesting reading time using modern day reading tools so let us explore some of the most popular books on genealogy and the different available formats to read them.

First, we have the choice of more traditional formats such as the hardcover and paperback books on the topic of genealogy. Some very popular books in this format that are very good reads for those just learning about how to explore their family tree include books like:

How to Do Everything Genealogy by George G. Morgan and found in paperback. George explores the reasons why people decide to dive into the subject of genealogy, how to use both a balance of traditional and electronic types of research while searching, how to organize your search, different types of records you will encounter as you explore your family tree, how to explore different types of records such as military, and immigration records and how to go past the traditional types of records and search in more advanced types of records in the first part of his book. The second half of his book he discusses research methods and strategies including how to research and verify the ancestors you locate by using Genetic Genealogy (DNA).

The book, Who Do You Think You Are?: The Essential Guide to Tracing Your Family History by Megan Molenyak and Wall to Wall Media is a book with a fantastic title that also happens to come in the kindle ebook reading format as well as in various other formats including hardcover, and paperback. Inside this particular book readers will discover how to go about being a “detective” while conducting your search for ancestors, how to discover any past relatives that may have served in the military, how to search using diplomas, or certificates such as birth, death and marriage documents, the obituaries and other legal or professional documentation. (It’s a fascinating read).

As far as technology goes, the kindle is a relatively new format for reading books. Kindle Wireless Reading Devices are used to read books that can be purchased directly from the device, giving readers the ability to access a large amount of reading material no matter where they physically are located without having to go to a bookstore or visit an online book seller, it’s instant gratification.

The last format to explore is the audible audio edition format. In the topic of genealogy there are not as many books to select from when choosing audio, but you can find some worthwhile books such as the unabridged audible audio edition of The Mistress’s Daughter: A Memoir by A.M. Homes which is a story about adoption. This book is especially moving to read if you yourself have been adopted and are looking for answers.

Another audible audio edition book that is well worth the read is Always Time to Die by Elizabeth Lowell.
