Book Overview
Your English Ancestry: A Guide for North Americans was the first book to provide a logical research routine for family historians based in North America. Since the first edition of Your English Ancestry was published in 1993, genealogy has become even more popular, the Internet has become an important tool for many researchers, and there have been significant changes in local government and in the storage of major records in England. These changes are reflected in this new edition of Your English Ancestry. It contains additional detail on many records, a new chapter introducing early English research (before 1730), and a greatly expanded bibliography. For every type of record -- civil registration, census, church records, probate, occupation, and local administration -- there are clear explanations of availability and access. Each chapter concludes with a step-by-step summary

Sets the stage for North American researchers of their UK roots
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
The best part of this short readable book is that Ms. Irvine takes the perspective of the North American. The records are remote for us, so how can efficient research be done? By providing a broad view, the answer is provided as well as the setting of reasonable expectations. Since 1993 much more is available on-line. The basics and good advice on strategies are still sound.
