Editorial Reviews
Midwest Book Review
Under the leadership of Donald Lines Jacobus (1887-1970), serious genealogical research in the United States may be said to have come of age. Genealogy As Pastime And Profession is written in a clear and graceful style, a classic work describing the principles of genealogical research, the evaluation of evidence, and the relationship of genealogy to chronology, eugenics, and the law. Genealogy As Pastime And Profession discusses early nomenclature, royal ancestry, the sue of source material, and the methods of compiling a family history. Genealogy As Pastime And Profession is the very foundation of scientific American genealogy -- a manifesto of methods, aims and principles. Genealogy As Pastime And Profession is essential reading for any novice genealogist.

Book Description
Clearly written, this describes the principles of genealogical research, the evaluation of evidence, and the relationship of genealogy to chronology, eugenics, and the law. It covers early nomenclature, Royal ancestry, the use of source material, and the methods of compiling and publishing a family history, and it also deals with characteristic blunders and misconceptions. It is the very foundation of scientific American genealogy.
