per  and because it fails , .  This is a self-published author of a series of mystery novels about genealogy and it has as serious  and  issues.  My primary objection, however, is that tit lacks sources.  Most of the sources are genealogy newsletters an magazines, and it seems unlikely that they exercise significant editoral control over their writers.  A proquest news search turned up only one hit on his name.  It was in the The News-Gazette (Champaign–Urbana) (Mystery novel is genealogy case study,  Griffis, Joan. News Gazette; Champaign, Ill. Champaign, Ill11 Nov 2015: B.7. ) and it looked OK at first.  3 paragraphs about the book that look OK until the final sentence "More information can be found on his website at nathandylangood... " shows that it is a press release.  It turns out to be one of three press releases on geneaology that the paper ran as a group, the other two PROMOted the research services of "The American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC).... click on the Learning and Resources link for access to other material related to veterans. Teachers will find links to many helpful classroom activities." and the "The Illinois State Genealogical Society (ISGS)...  clerks can also provide copies of death certificates but they usually are certified copies and are more expensive than the amount charged by ISGS. For example, Cook County charges $17 as shown on their website at http://tinyurl......"  It is a geneaology column: Queries, genealogical questions from researchers and genealogical materials readers would like to share will be printed in this column free. Joan Griffis may be reached via email at jbgriffis@aol or by sending a letter to Illinois Ancestors, c/o The News-Gazette, P.O. Box 677, Champaign, IL 61824-0677."  Very few of the sources on the page are linked; not necessarily a problem, although the fact that these are such minor, hobbyist publications is.  Sources on that page  that are linked, such as https://www.hastingsobserver.co.uk/news/new-book-on-hastings-in-wartime-out-this-month-1-1451244  New book on Hastings in wartime out this month are unsigned, making it unlikely that they were written by a staffer of the publication, and, yet again, the closing sentence makes it clear that teh article is PROMO for a book signing.
