Starting off on the right foot in genealogy means beginning with yourself and working backwards, and there is no better place to start than with the group of genealogy books and CDs published by the Genealogical Publishing Company and its affiliate Clearfield Company. First, there are loads of questions to be answered. Do you start with Grandma? Should you find out what's already been written on the family? Do you search the databases of the LDS Church or subscribe to a genealogy website? Should you search the Internet and exchange family history information online? And how do you record all this data? The questions are almost endless.

So where do you actually begin? Our advice, of course, is to begin at the beginning, and there is no better beginning than the group of manuals and how-to books published by the Genealogical Publishing Company and Clearfield Company. Designed to cut through the clutter and noise of modern-day genealogy, these books lay a rock-solid foundation on which to build your family history, guiding you in the simplest way possible to your ultimate goal.
