About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Concerning Genealogies by Frank Allaben. Read in English by Roger Melin. Written over a century ago, this comprehensive book offers insight into the methods used (still to this day, in spite of modern computers) to research and compile a family history. As stated in the preface of the book, "Strong emphasis is laid upon the importance of employing the historical method..." which is sorely lacking in today's computerized compilations. - Summary by Roger Melin
