520 |a "There are a lot of textbooks that describe how to find your ancestors; this new one by Richard Hite clarifies how not to.

Whether it's a proud family legend, a venerable publication or the claims of an Internet family tree, the unsubstantiated genealogical source is like a house of sticks before the Big Bad Wolf -- it won't stand up.
