Download or read book Genealogy 101 written by Barbara Renick and published by Thomas Nelson Inc. This book was released on 2003-04-23 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A recent Maritz Poll reported that 60% of Americans are interested in their family history. And with good reason. Through genealogy, you can go back into history to meet people who have had more influence on your life than any others -- your ancestors. And the better you get to know your ancestors, the better you will get to know yourself: the who's and what's and why's of you. Barbara Renick, a nationally-known lecturer on genealogy, tells the uninitiated researcher the steps needed to find out who their ancestors really were, and brings together for even the more experienced genealogical researchers the important principles and practices. She covers such topics as the importance of staying organized and how to go about it; where and how to look for information in libraries, historical societies, and on the internet; recognizing that just because something is in print doesn't mean it's right; and how to prepare to visit the home where your ancestors lived. Genealogy 101 is the first book to read when you want to discover who your ancestors were, where they lived, and what they did.

Download or read book His Name Was John written by Barbara F. Coffman and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2003-08-18 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does the age produce the man, or does the man produce the age? It can be argued both ways. John S. Coffman, Mennonite evangelist, writer, and organizer, was born at a time when his church, long the quiet in the land, needed leaders to show the way to a more vital spiritual life and a more effective Christian witness in the world. Into this vacuum of need came this dynamic man, with just exactly the qualities of character and the spiritual and natural gifts to accomplish this task. Although he died young, his years were sufficient to make a powerful impression on the church of his fathers, the church he loved and for which he poured out his life. A granddaughter has immersed herself for a number of years in the life and work and influence of this great man. She has heard the recollections of her father, S.F. Coffman, who walked in the footsteps of his father to become also a great church leader. She accumulated the reminiscences of other members of the family and of older people who knew her subject intimately. She found many primary sources of information, such as files of old letters and her grandfather's diaries. She spent time in both Virginia and Indiana to absorb atmosphere and setting for a competent biography. The author chose to use a semi fictional form for her story. All quotes from letters and diaries are verbatim. Conversation is constructed from this factual background, using a good deal of the colloquial style which she knows the principals of the story used. The result is a biography which is not only an accurate portrayal, but is also interesting reading.
