Genealogy Tidbits 2nd Edition
paperback 272 pages, $9.56, published November 2015 This book is a collection of interesting things I’ve found over the years. There is no special order, just “Tidbit” after “Tidbit” – stories and facts that caught my eye. A lot of the stories are sad, a few are happy. But in some way they all reveal a little about how life was back then. |
