In 1951, the DAR Magazine published Genealogical Guide: Master Index of Genealogy in the Daughters of the American Revolution Magazine, Volumes 1-84 (1892-1950). More than forty members of the Elizabeth Benton Chapter of Kansas City, Missouri worked for months on this guide. Nearly 39,000 references evolved into an index encompassing fifty-nine years of the DAR Magazine. Five years later, the same workers produced a supplementary volume extending the coverage of the Genealogical Guide to 1955. The Genealogical Guide and the Supplement are reproduced in their entirety in this new publication, giving the researcher access to all genealogical items that appeared in the first 89 volumes of the DAR Magazine.

Genealogical Guide
This book was nothing like I thought it would be. I was expecting a light-hearted memoir, but instead got a moving, poignant tale of motherhood.
This author has a writing style unlike anything I've read before, and it took me awhile to get used to the cadence and tone of her writing. I struggled with it at first. But once I got attuned to her style, it became a much easier read.
Yes, there are moments of hilarity. But there are also many more moments of despair, love, sadness, fear, happiness, belonging. As a mother of 3 boys very near in ages to the author's children, I could completely relate to the author's feelings of frustration, hopelessness, tiredness and yet deep, unending love for her children. The shock near the end was heart-wrenching (despite the fact that it had been hinted at, and I was half-expecting it), and I had real tears falling as I read it. I was quite moved.
The descriptions of the northern English countryside and way of life were also very entertaining. I love British books, but so often they are set in London, and so I had never really read about this part of the country. It was a refreshing change.
If you are looking for a fluffy, light read, this is not it. But this book is so definitely worth reading - especially if you are a mother - do give it a try. :)
