Reader's Reviews
"[Diana J. Bigelow] has done some groundbreaking research and taught us all how to create our own demographics for our ancestral villages. It is a fresh and unique way to address finding information on our ancestors' lives."
"[Quitting Bohemia] is a very well written narrative full of facts, without becoming overwhelming. I appreciated how she told the stories behind the facts, how to derive histories from the records, and brought it all back to reflect on her own family without this book being solely about her family. Throughout my reading it, I commented regularly 'This is GOOD!'"
"I have read this a couple times and refer back to it periodically. The author carefully researched original stats on characteristics of the residents in mid 1800s Eastern Bohemia, specifically the area around Ceska Trebova. She has woven those facts into an interesting description of the times and factors impacting emigration. Really enjoyed it."
"Fantastic Effort! This book does what I could only dream to do. It...weaves together a clinical analysis giving insights into what life was like in eastern Bohemia during the 1800s and before. If you want to go beyond...the 50,000-foot level explanations that you'll find in Wikipedia, this is it."
"I was thrilled to discover this book.
It did not disappoint!"
