I too would be challenged to find a family history book in my collection beginning with U. I did a quick search of my Librarything collection but only came up with the third volume of the Fortunes of Richard Mahoney: Ultima Thule which then led me on a merry dance exploring the meaning of Ultima Thule. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thule And of course while it's not directly relevant I guess we must as Australian family historians keep in mind that our ancestors must have felt as though they were at the edge of the known world in the early years of colonial settlement. The Australian Film Television and Radio School (which I used to work for) had a history written about it by Andrew Urban (remember Front Up on SBS?); the history was entitled Edge of the Known World, which was a kind of metaphor that students used to describe AFTRS location at West Ryde in Sydney - ha ha - but was also no doubt how Australian filmmakers sometimes feel on the world stage.

That Up West book sounds interesting, though. https://mollyscanopy.com/2021/04/undaunted-seventh-blogiversary-atozchallenge/Molly's Canopyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01571003887840906315noreply@blogger.com
