Recently I saw a request for a family tree search. That made me browse through this Advanced genealogy research techniques book.
I didnt realise that the professionals need to go through Icapgen accreditation specific for a region. This book uses the brickwall as a metaphor for dead end in research. The book seems so confident about success in getting the genealogy right. It includes examples of how they went about some brickwall cases. It is fascinating how even if the census officials get one of the details wrong, with the ties of spouse details, occupation and other documents you can recalibrate. Since the tree is linked, it can support and detect corruption of data in one link. Quite an architecture.
On a side note, a book with an interesting concept of Genealogy in American Literature.
You know Literature has its own life when there are books on parties in fiction
These books make me think of time travel in fiction and make a guide like The Time Traveler's guide to Elizabethan England.
