How to Trace Your Ancestors [antikvár]

FOREWORDMy own interest in genealogy sprang simply from hilarious tales of her childhood recounted by a much-loved mother, and my hope is that those embarking on their personal search for family history may find in this book helpful but not too prosaic guidelines, covering the many innovations which have occurred in recent years.Counties (unless stated otherwise) are as under the April 1974 alignment.Very best thanks for co-operation are due to the Record Offices for Bedford, Berkshire, Buckingham, Cambridge (two), Cheshire, Clwyd, Cornwall, Cumbria (two), Derby, Devon, Dorset, Dyfed, East Sussex, Glamorgan, Gloucester, Greater London (Middlesex), Gwent, Gwynedd (three), Hampshire, Hereford & Worcester (two), Hertford, Isle of Wight, Kent, Kingston-upon-Hull, Lancashire, Leeds, Leicester, Lincoln, Norfolk, Northampton, Northumber-land, .Nottingham, Oxford, Salop, Somerset, Staffordshire, Suffoik, Surrey, Tyne & Wear, Warwick, West Sussex, Wiltshire and York, plus Powys County Council.Particular thanks are offered to London's General Register Office and Public Record Office, HM Stationery Office, the County Record Offices of Durham, Essex and North York-shire, the Rector of Stockton-on-Tees, the Vicar of North-allerton and Bishopsgate Foundation.This book exists due to the unfailing support of Jean Luxford and constant spurring of Jacqueline Lewzey, de-spite 'assistance' from a donkey-sized Alsatian puppy. It is ofiFered as truly a labour of love, to light my own candie to thesun.
