Notes
The art of genealogy is the fastest growing activity using the worldwide web today. In this book you will find practical advice. The author has devoted a large part of his time in retirement to tracing his ancestral heritage to 1695. He places particular emphasis on family history rather than ancestry. He values researching occupations and ways of life rather simply listing names and dates. He shares his experiences and includes advice on how to avoid the ‘brick wall’ which all researches comes across. With this depth of practical experience he guides us through the process, giving us all the relevant research tools that he has used, together with over thirty key web sites that you will enjoy exploring.Contents
