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)
Great titles. I have The Pioneers but haven't read it, but was thinking that my husband's ancestors came to Ohio early and it would be helpful in understanding their experience. I had read The Trees, The Fields, and The Town by Conrad Richter to get the same feeling. His ancestors settled in Chillicothe.
ReplyDeleteI read the Conrad Richter books as well, all great background and interesting to see the development over time.
