Genealogists hear dead people...

[…pause for dramatic effect...]

The voices of our ancestors awake when our search for them begins. Most often we feel their voices – in our minds and in our hearts – as research ideas, promptings, and intuitions on where to find them. Yet sometimes, as our hearts turn toward theirs, their heaven-sent communications can be heard with our earthly ears. These voices – those of our ancestors - are the evidence of their hearts having turned towards ours.

The serendipitous encounters with genealogical voices that Geoff Rasmussen tells in Kindred Voices are true stories. Readers will be stirred by the reality of our ancestors’ interventions in our search for them. You will be inspired to either begin your search or to receive the hope you need to continue your quest. Our ancestors speak to us; are we listening?

I reviewed this book, and one of my comments appears on the back cover:

"An inspirational book to help researchers understand the “pull” of genealogy that makes it a lifelong pursuit and even an addiction to some." - Randy Seaver, author of Genea-Musings

Some of my other comments were:

"Geoff Rasmussen “feels” ancestor whispers – his ancestors help him find records of their lives. There are five great examples in this book where the whispers have led him to find records, gravestones, and more.

"The “whispers” have occurred during a walk down a library aisle, writing a letter to a German church, in a rural Maine cemetery, in a Utah courthouse, and in a parking lot. In the process of describing these “whispers,” we learn more about Geoff's life and family.

"In addition to the five examples, there is a list of 21 ways to start your family history today."

I liked the book, and encourage my readers to consider purchasing Kindred Voices.

Disclosure:  I was provided a PDF version of the book for review purposes.
