Product Description

Book Description

Delve into the fascinating history of your family with the acknowledged expert in the field

Product Description

The market for family history has never been stronger. The phenomenally successful television series Who Do You Think You Are? made many people consider the subject for the first time. Nick Barratt, the man behind the interactive strand of the series, now brings his expertise to this practical, lively and well-researched book, which will open the door to the fascinating world of genealogy. Accessible and clearly presented, and underpinned by a wealth of knowledge and experience, this book gives you everything you need to know to get cracking. From how to get started (talking to relatives, gathering clues, assembling a family tree), through to accessing and understanding and understanding the main sources (certificates, censes, probate and family registers), to how to flesh out your family tree, including tracing immigrant and emigrant relatives, tracking down military ancestors and how to cope if you uncover family secrets. Throughout the book there are case histories and real-life examples to help and inspire every reader.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews
Anyone who has decided to research their family history should read this book.
The time taken to read will be saved ten times over by the prevention of work down blind alleys and expensive mistakes.
The book covers all aspects of family history but unlike some manuals is written in easy to understand language with very little jargon.

Sound information and help for the "first time" searcher. Author has a later book, perhaps with a little bit more guidance as he was the author of the TV Series "Who do you think you are", but as far as I'm concerned this is outstanding value for money and costs tens of pounds less especially when bought from Amazon.
