Product Description
The British public's hunger to meet their ancestors continues, and this unrivalled guide offers one of the best ways to explore people in the past through the holdings of The National Archives at Kew and the Family Records Centre at Islington. Aimed at researchers on all levels from family historians to academics, "Tracing Your Ancestors" fully explains the institution, the records, and how to use them most effectively. This seventh edition - the first since the Public Record Office became The National Archives - is fully revised to offer even better reference than before, including: updates throughout on topics including the census and records of inheritance, births marriages and deaths of Britons overseas, immigration, the army, merchant seamen, the poor, crime, justice and more; a new text feature showing how each record can be accessed, whether online, as documents, microfilm, etc; a new index to record series; and an additional chapter on accessing other archives.

Much more than I expected. TNA had been a complete mystery before - I now feel that I know where and how to start. The detail is simply amazing.

This book is a mine of information about what the National Archives contain and how to access records related to family history. I haven't really had the chance to explore it fully yet.
Format:Paperback
Excellent book. It is fair to call it the Bible of the National Archives (TNA) research for a family historian. It is even useful in terms of providing information about sources outside the scope of the TNA. It forms a most fine companion to Herber's masterpiece: Ancestral Trails: The Complete Guide to British Genealogy and Family History.
