SUBROUTINES/METHODS

new

Creates a Genealogy::ChroniclingAmerica object.

It takes three mandatory arguments state, firstname and lastname. State must be the full name, not an abbreviation.

There are four optional arguments: middlename, date_of_birth, date_of_death, ua and host: host is the domain of the site to search, the default is chroniclingamerica.loc.gov. ua is a pointer to an object that understands get and env_proxy messages, such as LWP::UserAgent::Throttled.

get_next_entry

Returns the next match as a URL.

BUGS

If a middle name is given and no match is found, it should search again without the middle name.
