Adventures in Genealogy

By Norman Edgar and Norman Edgar Wright

Norman Wright, the author of the highly regarded textbook "Preserving Your American Heritage," is one of the giants in our field. In this book, Professor Wright takes us on a genealogist's odyssey and shows us how research is done by recounting three of his most memorable cases. While it's completely factual, "Adventures in Genealogy" reads like a collection of detective stories--complete with chance meetings in cemeteries, serendipitous phone calls, and not one but two murders. Supported by photographs and facsimiles of documents throughout, here is a book that should command the attention of all researchers and, especially, those who might benefit from observing a master genealogist at work.
