Excerpt from The Genealogist's Guide: Being a General Search Through Genealogical, Topographical, and Biographical Works, Family Histories, Peerage Claims, Etc The preface being usually disregarded by the majority of readers, I have ventured to give those who may consult this book the foregoing necessary advice. No dictionary can be profitably used, or its author fairly judged, unless the plan upon which it is compiled be first comprehended. The following pages will, I hope, serve to make my method clear, and render my book easy to be understood.

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.
