5.0 out of 5 stars Family Skeletons, 20 Jun 2007

By	DJ NORMANSELL (Cheshire, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I can thoroughly recommend this book. I thought it would be the sort of book to dip into but in the end I read it from cover to cover. It gives the family historian a great insight into issues such as illegitimacy and how it would have been viewed in the past. It is a very entertaining and accessible read without talking down to the reader. All of the chapters were interesting and included children who kill, gay men and women and resrrection men. Reading the chapter on drunkards made me realise how little things change over time and indeed come full circle!
An excellent book to learn from and enjoy.
