Belongs to Series
Here she comes again our aging Joan of Arc, mercilessly stripping away the veneer covering the serdid world of genealogy; teeth bared, mop & blender at the ready-motherhood & America on the line-shets out to do battle with the dragons of genealogy. Disguised as an ordinary person, she penetrates the inner sanctum of American genealogy, smoking out baloney & quackery in the lecture halls, exposing hidden meanings & dark purposes at wingdings in such innocent-seeming places as Ohio & California, confronting Armageddon itself in the streets of San Francisco, & generally raising doubts about the sanity of the universe. With a swipe at foreigners, computer freaks, reluctant letter-writers, & certain best-forgotten ancestors, our good lady is uncompromising in her single-minded devotion to flushing out flummery & humbug. But does she succeed? Does good triumph over evil in the garden of genealogy? Or all the dark forces of earnest endeavor gain the upper hand? No library descriptions found. |

If you know someone already involved in genealogy, this would be a good gift for them. If for no other reason, they'll be reassured that someone else knows their frustrations and feels their pain. (
