A note about the miscellaneous books of interest section: While these books are not genealogy books per se, they do offer a glimpse at a portion of my ancestors' lives. It may be their food, culture or the architecture of that time period. For that reason, I have chosen to add them to my genealogy library.
Books that I have reviewed have a link to the review if you want to learn more about the book and what I thought of it.
