ISBN-13: 9781921956454

Binding: Staplebound

Condition: Good

Records of births, marriages and deaths provide a fantastic starting point for identifying our ancestors' names and where they lived, but in terms of trying to understand how those ancestors once lived there is no better resource to plunder than a good newspaper. Over the last two centuries in particular newspapers have recorded the events that have shaped our forebears' lives, and in many cases noted anecdotes, notices and advertisements directly concerning them and their local communities. In this Unlock the Past guide, family historian Chris Paton reviews the availability of newspapers from...

In this detailed guide, family historian Chris Paton explores the history and records of the various churches in Scotland prior to 1855, the year in which civil registration commenced within the country.

Most importantly, he also discusses the nature of the records generated by the various Scottish churches, how to interpret them, and above all else, how to find them.

Discover Scottish Civil Registration Records

By: Chris Paton

Price: $13.00

Publisher: : 2016

Seller ID: frut0284

ISBN-13: 9781925323450

Binding: Soft Cover

Condition: Like New

This latest guide from family historian Chris Paton takes a look at the vast world of Scottish civil registration records. Scotland commenced the statutory registration of births, marriages, and deaths within the country in 1855, some seventeen and half years after a similar process had already got under way in England and Wales. The information lost to the family historian by such a late start is, however, more than made up for by the fact that Scottish registration records are the most detailed of all those found within the British Isles. 52 pages, indexed.

Binding: Paperback

Condition: New

Two articles, written by Dr. Herbert Koch, have appeared in German genealogical publications regarding emigration from the Grandduchy of Sachsen-Weimar-Eisenach to America during the years 1854 and 1859.

Genealogical Guidebook & Atlas of Denmark

Binding: Library

Condition: Used, Good

In the library of the Genealogical Society of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Salt Lake City, Utah, are more than 63,000 rolls of microfilm of Danish genealogical records, the largest centralized collection available anywhere for any country of comparable size.

With this situation in mind, the aim of the compilers in publishing this book is to prov...

In Search of British Ancestry

By: Gerald Hamilton-Edwards

Price: $13.00

Seller ID: mcr1934

ISBN-13: 9780806309989

Binding: Hardcover

Condition: fair

Few of us know much about our ancestors, and fewer still realize the very real possibility of tracing them. The pattern of family history is of infinite variety, but its appeal to the individual searcher is the same -- the discovery of those earlier individuals whose genes we still carry, and who constitute our personal roots in human society. The more rapidly the world about us changes, the more fascination we seem to find in the lives and identities of our forefathers. No book has done more to help amateur genealogists -- or to give their start to many professionals -- than "In Search of Anc...

Not all our ancestors were Church of England, or even Catholic. A fair number, particularly after the start of the eighteenth century, joined other denominations such as Baptists, Congregationalists or Methodists. Although the State at various periods did its best to eradicate Catholocism and all forms of Protestant nonconformity, particularly during the late-sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, large numbers persisted in their thinking and were persecuted for their beliefs.Therefore, it is quite usual, almost expected, for those researching their family in England and Wales to find it include...

The Poor Law had an extreme impact on English and Welsh society from the sixteenth century, right through to the twentieth. It played a central role in the country's social and political development from the Reformation to the Industrial Revolution, and beyond. Initially, the regulations were designed to reform the poor as much as to relieve poverty. The Poor Laws touched nearly every aspect of the lives of very many families over five centuries: those who found it necessary to seek help in their hours of need, as well as those who organized and paid for the relief that the deserving poor soug...
