Book Description
Whether you conduct your research in person or by mail, this celebrated manual - now in its fourth edition - will guide you in finding your ancestors in Britain or Ireland. Angus Baxter provides detailed instructions for locating records abroad and shows how easy it is to do by mail - or on a vacation trip! He begins with step-by-step instructions on drawing up a family tree, and explains how to use sources close at hand. The search continues by correspondence with family history societies, record offices, and other organizations, before concluding with a possible - but not essential - trip to the source, Britain or Ireland. The new Fourth Edition of this classic work includes discussions of the following topics: -The transfer of important genealogical records from Chancery Lane and St. Catherine's House to the new Family Records Centre in London - most notably, civil registration records, census returns, and records of the prerogative Court of Canterbury. -The 1986, 1996, and 1998 reorganization of counties in England and Wales and the latest information on where to find local records. Where available, URLs are given for country record offices (CROs), as well as for major repositories. Phone and fax numbers, if available, are also given for CROs and other archives. -The British Library transfer of many of its collections from the Great Russel Street location (inside the British Museum) to a new facility at St. Pancras, London -The establishment of the Irish Genealogical Project -The 1998 amalgamation of the Public Record Office and State Paper Office into the National Archives of Ireland. Finally, Baxter demonstrates how the threads of fact can be woven into a rich and detailed family history, the ultimate goal of all searchers determined to find their family roots.

Book Description
Anyone who is keen to research the life story of an ancestor from across Europe will find Julie Goucher's handbook an invaluable guide. She provides detailed, easy-to-use and accurate information on the key sources in each country on the Continent, and she includes Ireland, Russia and the United Kingdom. The important local and national records are described, and she focuses on the accessible sources that are the gateway to research - the websites, books and archives that provide an essential starting point for a journey into a family's past. A concise account of the history and scope of the relevant records for each country is given, along with a summary of the most effective approach to take to them. There are warnings about the obstacles and pitfalls a researcher may encounter, and the major events in each country's history - those that have had a marked effect on family history - are identified, especially the impact of the world wars and regional conflicts, border changes and movements of populations. Advice on useful websites is an essential part of the guide, but helpful information on all the genealogical sources is provided. Julie Goucher's handbook is an indispensable companion for anyone who is researching the life of an ancestor or the history of a family from the Continent.
