This new book takes the reader on a genealogist's odyssey and shows us how research is done by recounting three of the author's mostmemorable cases. While it's completely factual, Adventures in Genealogy reads like a collection of detective stories--complete with chance meetings in cemeteries, serendipitous phone calls, and not one but two murders. This is a book that should command the attention of all researchers and, especially, those who might benefit from observing a master genealogist at work.

Interesting cases marred by typos,
By Carlisle (Northern California) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Adventures in Genealogy (Paperback)
This appears to be a facsimile reprint of an earlier edition, without any revision or cleanup done of spelling errors and typos. My guess, judging from the type font, is that it was first published by the Evertons, who published the "Genealogical Helper" magazine for many years. The book should have had a copy editor the first time - you should see what the author did to the word "huaraches."This book was written before the Internet was a factor, so the case studies took place "in the field." They were interesting, but it would have been nice to have had a few more of them. Fortunately the book was very cheap.
