Though the story was interesting, it hardly amounted to genealogy
Why isn't it genealogy? It relates to episodes that affected his family, as with a lot of other families, and thus is genealogy. It's all very well some people banging on that it's political or social history rather than genealogy, but lets face it the events that went on affected ancestors in one way or another, and therefore are part and parcel of genealogy in relation to how they lived and what they lived through.
