A great read,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Adventures in Genealogy (Paperback)
Genealogy is the tracing of family lines and is a popular pastime for millions of Americans. "Adventures In Genealogy" by Patrick G. Wardell offers an informative and entertaining introduction of what it is like to engage in genealogical research, the methods that are employed in such inquiries, practical advice about the resources available, and common problems encountered, and the rewards that can be earned through the discovery process involved in identifying our ancestors and distant relations. Of special note is what genealogist Patrick Wardell has to offer the novice genealogist about nicknames, orphans, censuses, military pension files, cemetery records, and other issues and sources concerning genealogical research. The accessibly written text is replete with a number of facsimile reprints of original documents by way of examples. Especially recommended for beginning genealogical researchers, "Adventures in Genealogy" has much of value for even the more seasoned and experience genealogical research. A great read, "Adventures In Genealogy" should be a part of every personal and community library's Genealogical Studies reference collection and supplemental reading list.
