A book that will make ancestor hunter's stop and laugh!,

This review is from: Collecting Dead Relatives: An Irreverent Romp Through the Field of Genealogy (Paperback)
This book will bring back memories of stomping through cemeteries, days spent in hot musty libraries, and the days you waited anxiously for the mailman. A book geared to the lighter side of genealogy!

This review is from: Collecting Dead Relatives: An Irreverent Romp Through the Field of Genealogy (Paperback)
This is a very funny book. I've reread it a couple of times. Even though most genealogical research is now done at home via the computer this book about traveling around the U.S. to find ancestors is still relevant. The author describes a number of different types of researchers she met on the way. Those who won't share, respond to inquiries or are just plain disinterested are all discussed. Plus uncooperative clerks at courthouses, etc. Also, there are lots of helpful hints if you decide to "go on the road" looking for family. If you've been researching for a while you will appreciate her stories. If new at the game you'll be more prepared for what may await you on your journey. Highly recommended.
