A Bluestocking Knits

Here are the Booking Through Thursday questions for today:

Pick up the book that is closest to where you’re sitting right now.

1. What are the book’s title and author? "Ancestry’s Red Book" ed. by Alice Eichholz.  (Mine is the 1992 edition.)
2. Turn to page 127. Locate the third paragraph, first sentence. Type that sentence here: "A number of Florida land records, including the ‘Florida Donation Entry Files’ and ‘Private Land Claims’ are held by the National Archives, and a number of them can be found indexed in Florida Land: Records of the Tallahassee and Newnansville General Land Offices[s] [sic], 1825-1892 (Bowie. Md.: Heritage Books, 1989)."
3. Does the sentence make sense out of context? Er, well, it’s a bit dry, to be sure, but I suppose it makes sense….
4. Seeing it sitting here by itself, out of the book, is it funny? Sad? Strange? Does it make you want to explore its source? It’s a little bit mystifying, even to me!  (It actually does make me want to read further, but not perhaps in the way the questioner intended.  I have not done much genealogy for the past seven or eight months, and although my ancestors apparently never set foot in Florida, they were in a lot of places mentioned elsewhere in this book, and the idea of the book sitting here unconsulted makes me a bit wistful to do some more sleuthing.)
5. Are you currently reading this book? No.  I keep my genealogy reference shelf close to the computer, for easy access (librarians, huzzah!).  I was rather hoping that the "first book" I came across would be something fascinating and conversation-provoking, but I didn’t want to cheat!
