Who am I? The family tree explorer

Written by Anthony Adolph. Published London : Quercus, 2009.

Anthony Adolph is a British genealogist with a real passion for his chosen profession. He first became interested in his family history when he was 10 years old, and has made a career for himself in genealogy. His enthusiasm for the subject is truly infectious, and he seems to have just the right knack for engaging children in exploring their own links with the past. There has been very little published on this subject for children, and this book does a terrific job of filling the gap: attractively presented, liberally illustrated and generously sprinkled with activities. Recommended for primary and intermediate level. By the way, I even found out what “second cousin twice removed” actually means!
