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.

The book covers all aspects of family history but unlike some manuals is written in easy to understand language with very little jargon.

Excellent book, just what I needed, sellers detailed description was v good and the service excellent too, would use seller again
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.
