This book is a godsend in assisting me to advance my research even further than I had already done! Directed toward the researcher who is either a professional or who has been doing this for some time and is more literate in the field of genealogy than just a beginner, this book helps make us aware of those little known areas of hunting and searching that we might not otherwise have known of.



The back cover touts:

"* Examine the brick wall in detail to find potential weak spots that can be exploited into a breakthrough



* Use brute force techniques that leave no stone unturned



* Research the family, associates, and neighbors (FANS) of your brick wall ancestor



* Consult with your family, friends, and colleagues to get a fresh perspective on your research



* Use crowdsourcing - genealogy societies, online forums, social media, blogs, wikis, and podcasts



* Apply technological solutions, including DNA testing and specialized genealogical software



* Getting tips on hiring a professional genealogical researcher with the appropriate credentials and references



* Revisit your brick wall problem after honing your research skills



* Review your evidence, develop a research strategy, and keep a meticulous research log"





I found the text insightful and well worth the purchase of this book.



I give Advanced Genealogy Research Techniques Five Stars and a big Thumbs Up!
