Book Description
This MOORE family history begins with an overview of the Zachariah Moore family. With roots in South Carolina, Zachariah Moore and his wife Mary Still married and resided in Walton County, GA where they reared 10 children. Some of the Zachariah Moore children migrated to Texas, while some remained in Georgia. Four brothers fought together in the Civil War. The eldest son, Robert M. Moore came to Blount County, AL in the 1860s. The authors present the history of Robert M. Moore and his descendants and illustrate the impact of this pioneer family through story, historical photos, and genealogy. Included among the story are numerous historical pictures of the various families, their homes, burial places, and monuments. A documentary of life on the Moore farm with its tenant homes and sharecroppers is one highlight of the book. The story of Susan Moore, the person; Susan Moore, the school; and Susan Moore, the town weaves a thread throughout the book. Dr. Marie Jackson, a counselor educator, retired from Jacksonville State University and University of West Georgia. Susan Moore is her home and she has lived there most of her life. When speaking from a genealogist's perspective, one might say she has spent her post- retirement years "digging up bones". She has delved into family history; exploring cemeteries, researching family stories, and making genealogy come alive.

The Psychology of Family History
Author: Susan Moore
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000196429
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
This important book examines the motives that drive family historians and explores whether those who research their ancestral pedigrees have distinct personalities, demographics or family characteristics. It describes genealogists’ experiences as they chart their family trees including their insights, dilemmas and the fascinating, sometimes disturbing and often surprising, outcomes of their searches. Drawing on theory and research from psychology and other humanities disciplines, as well as from the authors’ extensive survey data collected from over 800 amateur genealogists, the authors present the experiences of family historians, including personal insights, relationship changes, mental health benefits and ethical dilemmas. The book emphasises the motivation behind this exploration, including the need to acknowledge and tell ancestral stories, the spiritual and health-related aspects of genealogical research, the addictiveness of the detective work, the lifelong learning opportunities and the passionate desire to find lost relatives. With its focus on the role of family history in shaping personal identity and contemporary culture, this is fascinating reading for anyone studying genealogy and family history, professional genealogists and those researching their own history.
