The Soul of the Family Tree: Ancestors, Stories,… por Lori Erickson
Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.I'm not into genealogy, but I do have a family--and this book helped me understand it better.

I appreciated learning more about Norse and Viking history as I’m not very familiar with it, and I loved how the author both learns and shares genealogical knowledge with us too. As with any good read, this has me wanting to learn more for myself as well; I may actually dig out some of those papers of family trees I put together over thirty years ago when I was fourteen.
