Online Genealogy: Review of Previous Studies
With my Findings chapter in for review, I am now concentrating on my two Literature Review chapters. I'm attacking one section at a time; the first of which is Online Genealogy, a review of the previous studies in the area.
The first part of this section will discuss the many informal surveys and studies performed by interested genealogists for their own endeavours or the popular press. It will then offer a review of the few academic researchers who have investigated (or are currently studying) the convergence of the Internet and genealogy.
If you know of any that I've missed, please let me know!
