Travel writer Kyle Ellison recently wrote, "Perhaps it's the rise in popularity of websites such as ancestry.com, but for some reason 'genealogy tourism' seems to be on the rise in the world's most famous 'nation of immigrants,' the United States of America. Despite the fact that millions of families took the plunge to move to a foreign land, their children many years down the road have not relinquished the curiosity to learn more about where it is they came from."
Ellison writes about his recent travels to Ireland and of a friend's travels to Sicily. Ellison writes that such travel is personal and very popular. My favorite quote from his article: "Still, to be able to travel to a foreign land and peer into the history of yourself is a feeling far more rewarding than sharing a famous sight with hundreds of other tourists."
