[Genealib] History of American genealogy

Wed Sep 10 09:10:41 EDT 2008

I would be concerned that this book published in 1986 does not chronicle the changes brought about by scanned images of source documents & availability of same online. Online US federal census records were a big breakthrough in how genealogists do research, and that is “old news” at this point.

Subject: [Genealib] History of American genealogy

Dear all,

I wonder if anyone could help me. I am currently undertaking doctoral research into the history of genealogical research at Glasgow University. I am particularly interested in the history of American genealogical research and its links with British archives. 

Can anyone recommend any sources where I can find out more about:

a) the history of American genealogical research in general
b) the history of Goodspeed publishing company
c) any Americans that have particularly contributed to British genealogical research

I would also be interested if anyone regularly directs patrons to British archives and/or if anyone knows of any local groups that organize trips to visit British archives 

I would be grateful if you could reply off list to: hannahmlittle at googlemail.com

With many thanks in advance for your help and advice. 

Hannah Little
