My Book Reviews Leading Up to America 250

As the 250th anniversary of US independence approaches, I'm looking back at just a few of my reviews or appreciations of books connected to American history. These books added to my knowledge and understanding of family history context during the past 250 years of American history.

Here are links to my reviews or appreciations of:

• The Quest for Annie Moore of Ellis Island (I have Ellis Island immigrant ancestors in my family tree)
• The Road That Made America (hubby's ancestors walked this road from Philly to Virginia)
• History for Genealogists (helpful for understanding what was possibly influencing the lives of my ancestors, both immigrants and US-born)
• The Last Ships from Hamburg (some of my ancestors actually sailed to America on these ships)
• Essential Guide to Researching Your Kentucky Family History (helpful as I was researching a still elusive ancestor in hubby's tree)
• The Pioneers (helpful for understanding the hype that whipped up Ohio Fever among some of hubby's East Coast ancestors)

Looking forward to reading more books as background for family history in the coming months!
