 Tools & Technique of Genealogical Research by Joseph C. Wolf   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
While working in the Genealogical Department of a major research library, and through association with some of the competent professional and amateur genealogists who regularly visited there, I have come upon some stray bits of information and some tricks of technique that may be new to even the most experienced genealogical researcher.
I should also like to make this suggestion: because essential genealogical information is often contained in family Bibles it is important to insure against their loss and destruction.
It is advisable, on your first visit to a library that you have not used before, to go to the person in charge of the genealogical department and ask him or her to acquaint you with any special indexes they may have compiled, and with the general routine in that particular library.
