Searching on location : planning a research trip / Anne Ross Balhuizen.
"There is a certain value in approaching a research trip as a special activity separate from local ventures into libraries and archives. This book will serve as a guide for the person who wants to make maximum use of his or her time, money, and energy in a specific quest for family history"--Preface.
