The Soul of the Family Tree: Ancestors, Stories,… por Lori Erickson

The book came just before a family tragedy so apologies for the tardy review. I thought I would read it before I delved into my own family history, but such was not to be the case.

½Esta crítica foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Críticos do LibraryThing.I love books that are part travelogue, part personal memoir, party historical. It’s a great way to tell a story.
Esta crítica foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Críticos do LibraryThing.I enjoyed this as the author takes a journey to find out the history of her ancestors. I appreciated learning more about Norse and Viking history as I’m not very familiar with it, and I loved how the author both learns and shares genealogical knowledge with us too. As with any good read, this has me wanting to learn more for myself as well; I may actually dig out some of those papers of family trees I put together over thirty years ago when I was fourteen.
Esta crítica foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Críticos do LibraryThing.I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. Memoir, history, dna, travel. It has everything I enjoy reading and made the perfect 'relax before bed' reading.
