  • Refer to places and migrations: Somewhere Over-the Rhine: Family History of the Deans from Appalachia to Cincinnati by Bettyann Dean Schmidt or All Souls: A Family Story from Southie by Michael Patrick MacDonald
  • Evoke a journey through time: Grace Was In Their Steps by Marcia Pepperman or Embree Footprints by Robert Ambler
