PRAISE FOR THE ACCIDENTAL ARCHIVIST
Bier has written a fascinating study, rich in painstaking detail about family interactions, insights into local customs and the history of this part of the Midwest. It contrasts old customs with new ones, the changing role of religion, and the limited opportunities available to women.

REVIEW OF THE
ACCIDENTAL ARCHIVIST
This book reads almost like a mystery, but it details some serious research. It also addresses a couple of seldom discussed aspects of looking for parents of adoptees: the fact that priests sometimes did father children and the complications that having related parents can cause when comparing DNA matches.

ADVANCE PRAISE FOR THE
ACCIDENTAL ARCHIVIST
. . . a delicious combination of memoir, sleuthing, and family secrets. Written with deep compassion, but also an overwhelming sense of curiosity and a need to know the truth, Bier digs through relationships and family history, putting beloved dots together in a different pattern.
