Product Description
Product Description
'Brick walls' occur everywhere and all the time in genealogy research. Solving Genealogy Problems will help you make real progress through difficult areas and dead ends. With this book you can take your British Isles family tree back further.
Solving Genealogy Problems will:
* Help you find new records, including unusual ones genealogists often don't know about; and make the best use of them when you do find them.
* Suggest new ideas for looking at old problems.
* Give additional ideas on using the census - then more ideas on using census substitutes when the census doesn't have the answers.
* Suggest ways of finding elusive births, marriages and deaths - and then of making progress anyway, even when you absolutely cannot find them.
This book covers all periods of British Isles genealogy. The new frontiers of genealogy are considered for the hope they give on even the most intractable research block, and the possibility they allow of building even the most difficult of family trees.

This review is from: Solving Genealogy Problems: How to Break Down 'brick walls' and Build Your Family Tree (Paperback)
... it does exactly what it says on the back cover.Let's face it, searching for great granddad Bert's birth certificate can be a bit of a bind, especially when his surname was Smith. Even with an 'unusual' (in the UK at least) surname like mine it can be hard to find basic pieces of info about quite recent generations. Unusual names often lead to unusual spelling mistakes. So, what to do? Dr Davis offers a range of possible avenues (no pun intended) to help genealogists escape from the cul-de-sac or back double they have found themselves in. Sometimes census details are incomplete or BMD data unavailable, so why not start to look at directories and the like? As a novice, it was not something I had thought of. The volume is written in an easy-to-read style (definitely no long words) and is full of practical hints to help you on your way. This is definitely a book I would recommend.
