The August\/September 1982 issue of American Heritage Magazine<\/strong><\/em> is focused on “Genealogy:\u00a0 The Search for a Personal Past.”\u00a0 An article by Peter Andrews reproduces a series of colorful, and mostly one-of-a-kind family charts filled in with genealogical information.\u00a0 The charts are identified as coming from–
\n__New England Historic Genealogical Society, Boston MA
\n__Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Center, Williamsburg VA
\n__Henry Francis DuPont Winterthur Museum, Winterthur DE
\n__Old Sturbridge Village, Sturbridge MA
\n__Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities, Boston MA<\/p>\n

“The Best Background” by Judson Hale features an additional coat-of-arms, a record chart (combination pedigree and family group), and a large family reunion photo.<\/p>\n

“When it comes to genealogical pride, there’s nothing to equal the modest satisfaction\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 of a slightly threadbare, socially impregnable New Englander.\u00a0 A canny guide to the subtle distinctions of America’s most rarified society.\u00a0 Boston is the center of New England culture and social life.\u00a0 Not because such things in other parts of New England are not as good.\u00a0 They’re just not as old<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

“Life with My Ancestors” includes comments on their own genealogical background by Walter Cronkite, news commentator
\nDon E. Fehrenbacher, historian, Stanford University
\nWilliam Manchester, biographer
\nWallace Stegner, novelist<\/p>\n

“Putting Worms Back in Apples,” describes the reconstructing of Old Sturbridge Village by Walter Karp. With pages of historical photographs, mostly in color.\u00a0 The sort of thing American Heritage is noted for.<\/p>\n

Other articles in this special issue provide more of the same for St. Louis MO and Indianapolis IN as well as old Catawba County North Carolina.<\/p>\n

The whole magazine is well worth the locating and reading.\u00a0 A very enjoyable\u00a0 and informative read.\u00a0 Many donations to my Genealogy Library Center, Inc<\/strong><\/em>. the past few weeks have included boxes and boxes of periodicals. And you know how I feel about genealogy periodicals–I read them cover-to-cover.\u00a0 Adding tabs for articles that are especially valuable for the professional research and teaching that I do. Making copies of specific pages or illustrations or genealogies or genealogy charts with the data filled in.<\/p>\n

Check with your local public library–many libraries have subscribed to American Heritage<\/strong> Magazine<\/strong><\/em> and they will usually have a run of issues.\u00a0 One that you want to read is August\/September 1982.\u00a0 Your favorite genealogist, Arlene Eakle \u00a0 http:\/\/arleneeakle.com <\/span> <\/a><\/p>\n

PS\u00a0 One of the features of my Genealogy Library Center, Inc.<\/strong><\/em> is complete runs of many genealogy periodicals–especially in those areas that I specialize in:\u00a0 New York and Pennsylvania, The South, British Isles, etc.<\/p>\n
