Since the beginning of the 'Genealogy Craze' in America, a disturbing new phenomenon has arisen that threatens to undermine the integrity of many of our top genealogical organizations. Progonoplexia, an obsession with collecting famous ancestors, has created amateur researchers who will go to any lengths in order to prove these relationships. This book provides an in depth look at one such case, revealing how progonoplexia may affect the future of genealogy in this country. An appendix at the back of the book contains numerous documents on Thomas McClung and Nancy Black. Thomas McClung (1728-1774) was a militiaman who fought and died at the Battle of Point Pleasant.
