Title: Disappointing
Review: This book is more a guide to tracing ancestors in places where Loyalists tended to settle than it is a guide to tracing Loyalists themselves. I was hoping for a detailed discussion of the activities of Loyalists and the measures taken against them and the records that these actions generated. Instead, I found the book consisted largely of a superficial rundown of the typical genealogical records -- birth, marriage, death, probate, land -- that can be found in various Canadian provinces and American states. A true guide to Loyalist records remains to be written.
Is the review positive or negative?
