Product Description

Product Description

Trying to find out about your lineage can be a daunting task. Where do you start? This reference work answers all your questions and more. It takes you step-by-step through the whole process, from interviewing living relatives to identifying uniforms from old photographs, to looking at old wills and church records. There is useful information on using the Internet, newspapers and record offices, and instructions on how to record the data. The book also discusses researching before 1550, the problems that may arise, and how to decipher heraldic crests and palaeography. With a section on basic Latin and a glossary of common genealogical terms, this book should arm you with everything you need to become your family history detective.


About the Author

Kathy Chater has taught genealogy and associated research subjects for nearly ten years, following her completion of a Diploma in Genealogy and the History of the Family from the University of London. Her areas of special expertise include research skills, and the basic of her book is that these are central to successful tracing of ancestors. She learnt her own research skills at the BBC, working on production teams, and has since shared them with seminars to journalists and product development executives, as well as to the would- be genealogists. Her writing includes a website on tracing Caribbean ancestry, articles for several magazines, and books on media communication and television research. Kathy is a member of the Society of Genealogists and has traced her own family back to 1600's.
