America and the
Sea: A Maritime History
By Benjamin W. Labaree, William M. Fowler, Jr., John B.
Hattendorf, Jeffrey, J. Safford, Edward W. Sloan, and Andrew W.
German
Published by Mystic Seaport Museum, P.O. Box 6000, 75
Greemanville Avenue, Mystic, CT 06355-0990. 860-572-0711. 1998.
x, 686 pages. Appendix, bibliography, illustrations, index,
maps, photographs. Hardcover. 12 x 8. $65.
This volume was prepared "to create a broad public
understanding of the relationship of America and the sea."
Written by recognized scholars who teach graduate studies in the
Seaport’s Munson Institute, the text by itself is both
interesting and expansive. Add the expertise of picture editor
Andy German and this lavishly illustrated, coffee-table quality
publication will bring hours of reading–or
browsing–pleasure.
Because of the Atlantic Ocean, America was a truly New World
to our progenitors. The North Atlantic presented a highway to
America, if they could afford or survive passage. But the story
of the seas is more than immigration. Mixed in with the
travelers are those whose lives blended with the sea for long or
brief periods: the men and women who worked the ocean
industries, who built the ships, or who fought or defended on
vessels patrolling the waters.
The narrative is shaped into four sections:
- 1. Becoming America, to 1815
- 2. The Expanding Nation, 1815-1865
- 3. Rise to World Power, 1865-1930
- 4. World War II and After, 1939-
An Appendix lists the American Maritime Museums. Also included
are a Select Bibliography and an Index.
The story is not one of genealogical detail or records for
searching, instead, it provides the framework for understanding
the lives and experiences of those who lived on or near the sea.
1999-2000 APG Directory of Professional
Genealogists, 20th Anniversary Edition
Compiled and edited by Kathleen W. Hinckley
Published by Association of Professional Genealogists, P.O. Box
40393, Denver, CO 80204-0393. 200 pages. Advertisements, indexes. Soft cover. 9 x 11. $15 postage paid.
This directory is designed to highlight the members of the
Association of Professional Genealogists. Their credentials and
postnominals are provided along with contact information, research
specialties, and related services. Geographic specialties are
followed by a brief history of the individual’s activities,
honors, and education, emphasizing genealogy-related skills.
Following the member listings (by state) are entries for almost
one hundred international members, mostly Canadian. APG
subscribers are next and although this classification is not
defined (one assumes they are Quarterly subscribers), the entries
appear to be exclusively organizations and repositories.
The Index to Research and Business Specializations lists
several categories of services or skills, followed by members’
names and state of residency (rather than page number). This is a
valuable section for finding a professional by skill or area of
expertise: location, ethnic, religious, or other group, or topic.
An Advertisers Index follows, then an Alphabetical Index, which
references the professional to his or her entry by page number.
Libraries and repositories may order one copy of this Directory
at no charge from the address above.

The Search for Missing Friends:
Irish Immigrant Advertisements Placed in the Boston Pilot,
Volume VII: 1871-1876
Edited by B. Emer O’Keeffe
Published by New England Historic Genealogical Society, Sales
and Circulating Library Departments, 160 N. Washington Street,
Boston, MA 02114-2120. 1-888-296-3447. 1999. xxx, 771 pages.
Indexes. Hardcover. 6 x 9. $60 plus $3.50 s/h. Note: vols 1-6
available for $45 each plus $3.50 s/h.
Unlike other ethnic groups who sought homes in this country,
Irish immigrants were predominately female after 1889. Prior to
that year, females made up approximately forty-five percent of
the group. Immigrants were also young. Up to 1877, about
sixty-six percent were between the ages of fifteen and
thirty-five; in the 1880s, this increased to eighty percent and
more.
This volume transcribes and indexes the advertisements for
missing persons placed in the Boston Pilot between 1871 and
1876, thus adding to the previous volumes. Beginning with ads
published in the issues of 1831, the overall project proposes to
extract notices through 1918. The entries range from the merely
inquisitive to the compelling, in some cases giving an
insightful view of the missing person’s life.
The full name of the immigrant or other person identified in
the ads is indexed, as are both Irish and American place names.
This is a truly valuable project and, even if you have no Irish
ancestors, you’ll appreciate it for the intimate and
interesting view of nineteenth century life.

Family Reunion Handbook: A Complete Guide
to Reunion Planning, 2nd EditionCompletely Revised
By Tom Ninkovich
Published by Reunion Research. Distributed by Betterway
Books, an imprint of F & W Publications, 1507 Dana Avenue,
Cincinnati, OH 45207. Toll-free order number: 1-800-289-0963.
1998. viii, 253 pages. Advertisements, illustrations, index,
photographs, resource list. Soft cover. 6 x 9. $14.99 (Canada
$21.99) plus $3.50 s/h.
"Of all the nostalgia that haunt the human heart, the
greatest of them all is an everlasting longing to bring what is
youngest home to what is oldest." This quote from Laurens
van der Post sets the tone for uniting living generations and
sharing family traditions. Family Reunion Handbook offers
fourteen chapters of practical instruction for all types of
reunions, ranging from a barbeque in Grandma’s yard to a
formal dinner at a luxury resort.
Topics include sites and negotiating contracts, financing and
committees, keeping records and communicating news, feeding the
family, and activities and games. There are even chapters on
finding people, starting a family association, and interviewing
relatives.
Many personal stories appear, especially in the scrapbook
section, which highlights reunion stories submitted by readers
of earlier editions. The appendix provides addresses for
fundraisers, decorations, games, and supplies. A twenty-plus
page directory lists hotels, resorts, and retreats which welcome
large groups. This book is updated annually.

Passenger Arrivals at the Port of New
York, 1820-1829 From Customs Passenger Lists
By Elizabeth P. Bentley
Published by Genealogical Publishing Company, Inc., 1001 N.
Calvert Street, Baltimore, MD 21202-3897. To order call
1-800-296-6687. 1999. xi, 1,491 pages. Appendixes. Hardcover, 6
x 9. $95 plus $3.50 s/h.
Beginning in 1820, the Customs Passenger Lists were to be
registered by all masters of ships arriving at American ports
from abroad. The names of all passengers were to be noted, along
with their age, sex, occupation, countries to which they
belonged and intended to inhabit, name of the ship, port of
embarkation, and date of arrival.
Eventually these lists were acquired by the National Archives
in Washington, D.C., where they were arranged by port, date, and
ship, and then microfilmed.
The book names 85,454 passengers as well as the 6,247 ships
that brought them to New York. The list of ships gives the names
of ship masters, ports of embarkation, and dates of arrival.
Evidence presented in this book suggests many lists are
missing–perhaps more than were previously thought. Variances
are noted, such as the style of manifest forms, which result in
some lists containing different detail.
This work provides quicker and more accurate access to the
customs passenger lists of 1820-1829 than has ever been
possible. But why would you go from this work (which extracts
all detail) to the microfilmed list? Because these extracted
entries are arranged alphabetically, whereas the original lists
show who traveled together on a particular ship. Identifying
companions can provide the breakthrough needed to resolve
perplexing research problems.

Heritage Hunting
By Donna Potter Phillips
Heritage Books, Inc., 1540 East Pointer Ridge Place, Bowie,
MD 20716. To order call 301-390-7709. 1998. 287 pages. Index. Soft cover. 6 x 9. $23 plus $3.50 s/h.
In 1986, Donna Potter Phillips began writing a weekly
genealogy column for her local newspaper. From the five hundred
or so weeks in which the column appeared, Ms. Phillips has
selected several from 1992 to 1996 to present in original form.
She cautions readers that information may be changed or now
unavailable. Nevertheless, she promises, "A careful study
of the thoughts and ideas contained in these columns will most
assuredly help you with your family questing."
The selections show a wide range of subject matter and focus.
There is no table of contents but an index serves to link the
reader to what is of most interest. However, it is best to
simply read the text so you won’t miss Today’s Tips,
Today’s Trivia, or Today’s Laugh, which pop up from time to
time. If you have only a short time to read, simply open it to a
title that appeals to you and enjoy. The topics are
far-reaching, from the American Immigrant Wall of Honor,
City Directories, and International Genealogical Index (IGI), to
Photographs and records from World Wars I and II.
This is a book for all researchers, as many diverse groups
are represented in the essays. The index shows African
American,
American Indian, Armenian, Chinese, Czech,
Egyptian, Estonian, Greek, Latvian, and
Ukrainian, along with British, French, German, and
Scandinavian.

The Magna Carta Sureties, 1215: The
Barons Named in the Magna Carta, 1215, and Some of Their
Descendants Who Settled in America During the Early Colonial
Years, 5th edition
By Frederick Lewis Weis, with Walter Lee Sheppard, Jr. and
William R. Beall
Published by Genealogical Publishing Company, Inc., 1001 N.
Calvert Street, Baltimore, MD 21202-3897. To order call
1-800-296-6687. 1999.xx, 214 pages. Index. Hardcover. 6 x 9. $20
plus $3.50 s/h.
The great charter of English liberties was forced from King
John by the barons and sealed at Runnymeade, 15 June 1215.
Twenty-five men represented the barons at that
signing–Sureties for the baronial performance. This book is
about the pedigrees of seventeen of the twenty-five–those who
have descendants.
The pedigrees of the seventeen make good references for
students or descendants of the families. Corrections, additions,
and revisions in this latest edition give an authoritative
collection of interlocking pedigrees that carry the ancestry of
some one hundred and sixty American colonists back to the
thirteenth century.
The book opens by listing the twenty-five Sureties and
persons named in the preamble of Magna Carta, as advisors of
King John (clerics and nobles). There is reference to the
colonists whose ancestry is discussed. If you can link back to
an American colonist and find him or her in this reference, you
have the most reliable data currently available for extending
that pedigree back to 1215–and probably earlier.

historical researcher. She is a lecturer at Samford University’s
Institute of Genealogy and Historical Research and the editor of
