Relatively Speaking — ' } ' ' ■ A variety of genealogy books

By DORIS McMANIS CAMDEN Laverne Galeener-Moore has done it again. Her second book. Further Undertakings of a Dead Relative Collector, makes a person unashamedly laugh out loud, even when alone. Its cartoon-, laden pages given genealogical advice, but her one-of-a-kind of humor swipes at best-forgotten ancestors, reluctant letter writers, computer freaks and the hell on earth when the microfilm reader is on the fritz. I couldn't put the book down and vow to read it again. A paperback, it is 167 pages of hilarity for you or for a gift. It was published in 1989 and equals her first book, Collecting Dead Relatives. ' Baltimore County Families, 1659-1759, by Robert W. Barnes, is 924 pages, clothbound, of comprehensive genealogical data on the hundreds of families and thousands of individuals who settled in the parent county during the first hundred years of its existence. Original settlers came from southern Maryland, from the Eastern Shore and Virginia, then from Pennsylvania. Some came directly from the British Isles, as indentured servants or transported felons. The stones are alphabetical, plus 17 pages of bibliography and 183 pages of every-name indexing. The exodus from Europe to the In fashion The season for tanning is in full swing. Shops are filled with fashions designed for fun in the sun. One-piece bathing suits are making a good comeback, but bikinis are still favorites among the younger group. V-nick halters and tops with very low backs leave much bare for tanning. To enjoy safe tanning be sure to use the right sunscreen to prevent blistering and a risk of getting skin cancer It's always wise to carry a shirt or jacket A slow tan is a lasting tan

United States took place on a scale of such magnitude that the identities of the immigrants have all but been lost. But passenger arrival records do survive. The records are intimidating and difficult to use. Many days are spent hunched over microfilm readers with no ancestor records found. American Passenger Arrival Records by Michael Tepper, a 134-page hardback book, has as its objects to cut the records down to size, to make them accessible and to help wring information from them It is a road map through the mass of records and archival resources that document the arrival of immigrants over three centuries. It is a book to read and to refer back to. Information about all three books can be obtained from Genealogical Publishing Co., 1001 N. Calvert St., Baltimore, Md 21202. 428.
