Finding Your Roots: The Official Companion to the PBS Series

An engaging continuation of the stories presented in the PBS series. While one reviewer was disappointed that this book was not another "how to" guide to genealogy, I found it insightful, delightfully written, entertaining, and enlightening. There are some take-away genealogical lessons in this book for the astute reader. Dr. Gates' writing style is as pleasurable as his on-camera persona. I hope Professor Gates provides us with a similar volume for his next season of stories from Finding Your Roots.

This book is a great resource for anyone finding their roots.

Whether you are a history buff, genealogist (professional or amateur) this is a fascinating trip into history and an excellent explanation of DNA research. What else can I say? Professor Gates is simply outstanding. Read his other works as well. He is also an excellent author.

A must have if you love Finding Your Roots! :)

Book copy was not easy to read and not put together well.
