Genohistory

Genealogist and historian (and now Genohistorian), Donna Cox Baker has recently begun a new website Genohistory On Purpose - Understanding Our People in Their Own Time and Place . The website has a page for Genohistory On Purpose blog posts  which, as it populates, will make for interesting reading. As, Donna explains in her first post of her Genohistory series -  Genohistory: The Middle Ground on Purpose  (10 May 2020), Genohistory is a concept she created to bring together her interests in Genealogy and History.  As she puts it in her post, "I don't want to move back and forth between them. I want to cultivate the spot where they intersect" .  She sees Genohistory as being "the cross-disciplinary study of an interconnected group of people, often a family, within the context of its own time and place".
