Major changes in the 2nd Edition:

  • A new chapter on Computers and Genealogy has been added.
  • The Jewish chapter has been split into two chapters and coverage has been expanded.
  • The chapter on Research in Germany has been expanded.
  • The new book has an auto binding (like a phone book), which should be able to give good service under more demanding conditions.
  • Many other areas have also been expanded to a lesser extent, including most of the European countries, and expanded bibliographies throughout.
