**Intact Gift Giving Condition book**

Each chapter describes a time period and the kinds of records available for that era, allowing beginners to learn about new types of records just as they need them. This guide is organized according to the actual process used in genealogical research: Start with yourself, then move on to living family and relatives, and then move backwards in time, generation by generation. The guide is divided into two parts. Part I discusses such things as relationships between family members, naming practices, genealogy software, how to review existing research, and the basics of DNA testing.
