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. HinckleyPublished 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
Edition
Completely Revised By Tom Ninkovich

Betterway Books, an imprint of F & W
Publications, 1507 Dana Avenue, Cincinnati, OH

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 missToday’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,
andUkrainian, 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.
