I think it's a better history than the Weil book.MHDhttp://greatgreats.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-10114316893303667552014-07-27T08:08:35.420-07:002014-07-27T08:08:35.420-07:00Thanks, I did see that list.

As I find recommended readings, I look in the sources mentioned in cyndislist.com to see if they are available in free ebooks. If not, I usually search for used books or buy new if it is a newer publication.Lynn Tenneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15955054605211124104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-25370321438222157072014-07-27T07:22:43.032-07:002014-07-27T07:22:43.032-07:00Yes, try Cyndi's List at http://www.cyndislist...Yes, try Cyndi's List at http://www.cyndislist.com/books/ebooks/ There are a number of websites with lists.

This ...Thanks for posting this genealogy book list! This is the second of its type since I put a request in Dear Myrtle's G+ group last month and it is very much appreciated. I've been building my genealogy library in ebooks (when available) and physical books. I hope your readers add their favorites. Are you aware of any site that lists genealogy reference books by category and/or geographical area? I was not able to find one in my searches.Lynn Tenneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15955054605211124104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527613590529958801.post-84742917149919641352014-07-25T06:24:04.201-07:002014-07-25T06:24:04.201-07:00Yes, I had a similar experience when reading the b...Yes, I had a similar experience when reading the book.

If your ancestors came to the American colonies before the Revolutionary War, this is a MUST READ. It also helps to explain why Americans are the way they are today! I am reading the e-book via the Kindle app on my iPad. I wish I had the actual book, because there are great maps. They are harder to read in digital format. The footnotes are also full of good information, but they are quite difficult to access in the digital version. If you still believe that our forefathers came to America seeking religious freedom and proclaiming that same message for everyone, you need to read this book. Your eyes will be opened.Dede Holdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09460665229160116444noreply@blogger.com
