Product Description
Product Description
The long-awaited fourth edition of this best-selling manual continues to offer up-to-date guidance both to newcomers and to the more experienced, on how to make best use of the labyrinth of genealogical sources in England and Wales. It takes into account recent, and even some future, changes to the civil registration system, and incorporates many of the vast sources newly available on the internet. There is also a substantial bibliography for those who discover that their ancestors migrated from other countries.New appendices provide research into underregistration of birth and death, and hitherto unpublished details from the 1915 and 1939 National Registers. The family tree detective remains an indispensible source of information on how to locate births, marriages and deaths, and alternative strategies if those searches fail. Dr Colin D. Rogers is a Fellow of the Society of Genealogists, a member of AGRA (the Association of Genealogists and Researchers in Archives), and was for thirty years the Hon. General Editor of the Lancashire Parish Register Society. He runs a consultancy helping banks and solicitors to identify and locate beneficiaries.

Clear and useful,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Family Tree Detective: Tracing Your Ancestors in England and Wales (Paperback)
This is a very clear guide to problems associated with tracing your family history in England and Wales. It is particularly oriented to solving problems that you might face. I am an absolute beginner who knows nothing about tracing your family tree, and I found it a little difficult going at times. I think I might need a suitable beginner's book first. However, once you've started and know a bit about what you're doing, and start to hit the first problem, I think this book will be invaluable.

This review is from: The Family Tree Detective: Tracing Your Ancestors in England and Wales (Paperback)
As a newcomer to family research I have found this book invaluable. It describes in detail the different ways of locating birth, marriage and death records before and after the introduction of civil registration in 1837. It contains very useful information about social trends and gives examples. This book is well written and very easy to read.

I have recently bought this book and have just begun reading it. If anyone is interested in tracing their ancestors I would certainly recomend it to them as it contains much information and many answers to questions as to how to go about it.
