Book Giveaway: Tracing Your Ancestors Using What They Left Behind


Listen Later

The book is Tracing Your Ancestors Using What They Left Behind: A Guide for Family Historians by Simon Wills.

I had actually planned to offer this book as a giveaway a few weeks ago, but some family things came up, and I was not able to make the change at the time. In the end, that delay worked out for the better because it gave me more time to sit with the book, look through it more carefully, and enjoy it more than I probably would have if I had rushed through it.

The more I looked through it, the more I felt this would be a helpful book for my readers, followers, and fellow genealogy friends.

What stood out to me right away is that this book approaches genealogy from a perspective that many family historians will appreciate. We spend a lot of time with census records, birth records, marriage records, death records, probate files, newspapers, military records, church records, and all the other usual sources. Those records are important, and we need them. But this book reminds us that family history clues can also be found in the physical things our ancestors left behind.

That is really the heart of this book...
