Yes, I have several Google Alerts set up to keep an eye on several surnames. I’ve found, however, that not all material on the Scholar site is ‘academic’ in quality. One item I found was merely a poorly written ‘report’ from Legacy Family Tree.
Excellent post. Some great points you mention in there.
