Consisting of academic essays relating to the interaction of geography and genealogy, some chapters remain relevant for today's researchers while advances date others. The chapters covering online resources and DNA suffer most. Others sometimes refer to relocated resources. (For example, Allen County Public Library's contract with HeritageQuest expired, and PERSI now resides at FindMyPast.) Penny Richards' chapter covering a woman's letters provided an interesting case study. The show more "genealogical tourism" chapter stirred memories of visiting ancestral places for me and longings to visit others. Perhaps this work's most enduring contribution is the chapter bibliographies. Although dated, this volume remains useful. show less
