500 Best Genealogy and Family History Tips – new e-book by Thomas MacEntee

So many of us have requested a "brain dump" from Thomas MacEntee. With his brand new e-book, 500 Best Genealogy & Family History Tips, he has given us just that! We now have access to the genealogy and technology sides of Thomas' mind. I suspect this will become one of genealogy's top new books of 2015. Here's how he describes the book:

This book could best be described as a "brain dump" of me, Thomas MacEntee, and my many years of knowledge about genealogy and family history. Basically what I've done is to extract my favorite tips and tricks from over 85 presentations, 10 books and numerous articles. In addition, I've reviewed the social media posts and conversations from Facebook, Twitter and other platforms to highlight those issues most important to today’s genealogists.

What will you find in this "best tips" guide? Everything from practical ways to use Google, advice on protecting your privacy online, information about secret or little known resources for genealogy research, and more. The best way to use this guide is to browse the Table of Contents to find a topic of interest. Also simply search the book when trying to find a solution to a problem, such as how to cite a source or locate an app to generate bibliographic information.

I hope you enjoy 500 Best Genealogy & Family History Tips and put it to good use in the coming year.

About Thomas MacEntee

What happens when a “tech guy” with a love for history gets laid off during The Great Recession of 2008? You get Thomas MacEntee, a genealogy professional who’s also a blogger, educator, author, social media connector, online community builder and more.

Thomas was laid off after a 25-year career in the information technology field, so he started his own genealogy-related business called High Definition Genealogy. He also created an online community of over 3,000 family history bloggers known as GeneaBloggers. His most recent endeavor, Hack Genealogy, is an attempt to “re-purpose today’s technology for tomorrow’s genealogy.”

Thomas describes himself as a lifelong learner with a background in a multitude of topics who has finally figured out what he does best: teach, inspire, instigate, and serve as a curator and go-to-guy for concept nurturing and inspiration. Thomas is a big believer in success, and that we all succeed when we help each other find success.
