Exploring the Diversity of the American Family Album

November 03, 2012

Dorothy and Thomas Hoobler have written a series of books telling the stories of our ethnic ancestors' experiences in America. These books are written in the style of "Family Albums." They share touching memories of personal immigrant experiences, as well as photographs, historical facts, and other information. These books will add depth that will round out and add the human interest touch to your family trees. Several of the books have won awards.

After a full day of research at the Midwest Genealogy Center, check out a couple of these personal tales of the immigrant and ethnic experience, and read and enjoy at home.

These are the titles in the series:

• The African American Family Album
• The Chinese American Family Album
• The Cuban American Family Album
• The German American Family Album
• The Irish American Family Album
• The Italian American Family Album
• The Japanese American Family Album
• The Jewish American Family Album
• The Mexican American Family Album
• The Scandinavian American Family Album

All ten books are available for checkout at the Midwest Genealogy Center.
