Crammed full with information . . . the text is chatty without being patronising, and gives good advice on the topic. All in all, it's easy to use, and I recommend this to interested children. -- Minerva * Minerva Reads *

Dan Waddell started his writing career selling stories to the tabloids before becoming a sports writer for BBC books. When his son was born in 2003 it sparked a curiosity in his own family history and within a few hours of starting to research his ancestors he uncovered a scandalous family secret! After rapidly becoming an expert, Dan was commissioned by the BBC to write two tie-in titles to the hit TV series Who Do You Think You Are? He has recently published two genealogy-related crime novels, Blood Atonement and The Blood Detective. This is his first book for children.
