Author Joseph Amato will discuss his book, Jacob's Well: A Case for Rethinking Family History.  In the book Joseph traces his "mongrel" family of Arcadian, English, Irish, German, and Sicilian descent through seven generations, from pre-revolutionary Massachusetts to early nineteenth century Maine and New York to the Midwest including for a time the Neenah-Menasha area. Amato will talk about genealogy, tracing family history and storytelling.

Joseph Amato is Professor emeritus of History and Rural Studies at Southwest Minnesota State University in Marshall, Minnesota.
