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.
