 How Genealogy Captured the Brains and Imaginations of Americans,
 recently published by Laughing Cow Books.

 For millions of Americans, the quest to find one’s ancestors has become an obsession, and for some
 even a religion. After writing a book about the history of his family, the author realized that half of
 it was missing, literally. This is the story about how he found the other half, and what he learned along
 the way about the history and practice of genealogy, his fellow genealogy fanatics, and himself.
