"A Genealogist's Guide to Grand Rapids, Michigan" is a great resource for genealogists who plan on researching in this geographic area. This guide offers information for genealogists regarding the top libraries, archives, and museums in Grand Rapids, as well as the surrounding areas. These repositories offer abundant treasures for the researcher of all levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Also highlighted in this guide are a wealth of non-genealogical options for urban adventurers, art aficionados, beer connoisseurs, nature enthusiasts, history buffs, and the universal tourist. One could easily spend a week in this area and only sample a small portion of what this part of Michigan has to offer: stunning scenery, fantastic food, and unique attractions. Get ready to immerse yourself in a city that has been voted Lonely Planet's #1 U.S. Travel Destination of 2014, The New York Times choice as one of 52 places to visit in 2016, and the city whose nicknames have included "Furniture City, USA," "River City," and "Beer City." While it includes a lot of information it does not include information on traveling to the city or on places to stay while there. Those decisions vary too much based on a person's budget and travel times to be able to include adequate information. "A Genealogist's Guide to Grand Rapids, Michigan" was created by Katherine R. Willson who shares her familiarity with Grand Rapids, Michigan and the surrounding area to assist genealogists and family in making their trip an enjoyable one.

This book offers novice and experienced reference librarians an introduction to tried-and-true genealogy techniques and resources.

Later chapters deal specifically with genealogical librarianship: how to conduct a reference interview, continuing and professional development, and basic resources every collection should have. Charts, screen shots, and examples of public documents are also included; while a series of appendices present the case studies in their entirety.
