The book is based on thousands of hours of research in libraries and archives across the US and Europe and Ms. Huber’s travels through Germany, Sweden, and England and the US. The narrative is interwoven with Ms. Huber’s own research experiences, to inspire current and future genealogists to trace their own family histories. Ms. Huber will be available after the program for a book signing. For more information, see www.thejourneytakers.com
