Rosemary Wenzerul's lively and informative guide to researching Jewish history will be absorbing reading for anyone who wants to find out about the life of a Jewish ancestor. In a clear and accessible way she takes readers through the entire process of research.

She describes, in practical detail, the many sources that researchers can go to for information on their ancestors, their families and Jewish history.
