Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. 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 "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. ( ) Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
Genealogy has become a widely popular pursuit, as millions of people now research their family history, trace their forebears, attend family reunions and travel to ancestral home sites. Geographers have much to contribute to the serious study of the family history phenomenon. Land records, maps and even GIS are increasingly used by genealogical investigators. As a cultural practice, it encompasses peoples' emotional attachments to ancestral places and is widely manifest on the ground as personal heritage travel. Family history research also has significant potential to challenge accepted geographical views of migration, ethnicity, socio-economic class and place-based identities. This volume is possibly the first ever book to address the geographical and scholarly aspects of this increasingly popular social phenomenon. It highlights tools and information sources used by geographers and their application to family history research. Furthermore, it examines family history as a socio-cultural practice, including the activities of tourism, archival research and DNA testing. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
