Remarkable six centuries and 17 generations of recorded Steele Family Lineage supplemented with family DNA and heraldry beginning in the 8th century. Their journey began in Scandinavia as Norse Men or Vikings then moved to France where they became Normans and invaded England with William the Conqueror. The family resided in County Essex, England for 5 generations before becoming Puritan settlers of the Massachusetts Bay and Connecticut colonies and founders of Hartford, Connecticut. Five generations lived in New England before Aaron Steele traveled the Great Wagon Road south through Virginia's Shenandoah Valley into the Carolinas and Georgia. During their trek, the Steeles and related families of Polks, Andersons, Mavericks, Martins, Crocketts, Skaggses, Smiths, Wheelers, Irelands, Delks, Huntons, Thompsons and Waplers created a tapestry of faith, military and civic service, explored the wilderness frontiers of Connecticut and Appalachian Mountains, panned for gold in Georgia, Colorado and Montana, fought for American independence and the independence of Texas, and pioneered in Kansas and Wyoming. Whether farmers, merchants, soldiers, government leaders, miners, frontiersmen, landed gentry, nobility or land barons, the Steeles and their extended family prospered always seeking freedom and opportunity. This is their story.

There has been an explosion of interest in genealogy recently, with popular series running on PBS (Faces of America), NBC (Who Do You Think You Are?) and BYU-TV (The Generations Project). Even Lisa Simpson did a genealogy project for school. Part of the popular Crash Course series, Crash Course in Genealogy will help librarians feel more comfortable as they work with the increasing number of patrons looking for assistance in researching their family trees. Beginning with library genealogical services policies, the guide moves on to cover genealogical research principles and most-used sources. It also illustrates how one can perform a search backward in time through American family history. The book includes information on researching people of color, taking research to another country, and adding DNA information to genealogical research. Examples from the author's decades-long experience as a genealogist enrich the text, while illustrations of census records and the like help readers understand the research process.
