Secrets of Tracing Your Ancestors, by, Daniel Quillen has 262 pages. I chose this book because the reviews made it seem as though it would have a lot of very helpful information and resources I could use to build my family tree. I am on page 40 of the book and it has given me a lot of tips. The book is basically a list of websites and ideas of where to find helpful information. 

The purpose of an annotated bibliography is to give credit where credit is due. You have to tell everyone where you are getting your information from so you do not plagiarize any of your work. Plagiarizing is illegal and can get you in trouble, and a bibliography prevents it from happening. Also, it organizes your information so you can keep track of what came from where and who wrote it. You have to cite your sources to remember where all of your information came from. 

Lee Family Tree

For my Wonder Project I am going to build my family tree. I am going to go back as far as I can with my ancestors and learn about the people who got me where I am now. I find it really interesting that I have possible cousins that I don't know of and ancestors who could be famous or could have made a big impact on American history. My final project will be an actual family tree with photos and facts about the people in my family. I will read the book Secrets of Tracing Your Ancestors by, Daniel Quillen to help me trace my family history.
