Interest in family history is at its highest. Young people want to know where they came from, as well as the people who built their family and their country. When researching their genealogy, readers will gather a wealth of information. Using Your Research discusses techniques on how to decode that information and put it into context. This title also offers help on how to form a family tree if a person is adopted or what to do if a person discovers an ancestor's dark past while doing research. Imagine you find out your great-grandfather was a horse thief and spent some time in jail! Readers explore their own and other people's pasts, creating an understanding of the opportunities and challenges that built this nation.
