Dear Fellow Genealogists, I want to alert you to an article that I just published in the literary online journal "Fortnightly Review," about the pitfalls and rewards of searching for one's ancestors---inspired by own experience of researching my Moores of PG County and Washington County. http://fortnightlyreview.co.uk/2011/11/genealogy-in-america/ Hope you enjoy, Drew Moore
Excellent! Was so delighted at the quality of the writing, and then I saw at the bottom: "taught Classics and English Literature." That explains it all. So sad that both are denigrated nowadays. Excellent writing, Drew. Very enjoyable. Sam (gray/blue-eyed, and therefore a distant cousin somewhere along the line, I imagine) On Sun, Nov 6, 2011 at 12:33 PM, Drew Moore <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear Fellow Genealogists, > > I want to alert you to an article that I just published in the literary online journal "Fortnightly Review," about the pitfalls and rewards of searching for one's ancestors---inspired by own experience of researching my Moores of PG County and Washington County. > > http://fortnightlyreview.co.uk/2011/11/genealogy-in-america/ > > Hope you enjoy, > Drew Moore > > > > > ********* > Visit the threaded archives of this list: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/MDWASHIN > ********* > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message >
