Tracing Your Ancestors in the UK - Volume II

A Step-by-Step Guide to Tracing Your UK Ancestors

An easy-to-follow, illustrated guide to tracing your UK ancestors, using professional methods, enabling you to start finding your UK ancestors immediately

There is so much information available about genealogy that, if you are a beginner, you may not be sure where to start, and whether you are going about your searches in the right way. In fact, with genealogy being such a popular subject, many well-intentioned sources of information can be misleading or confusing to the absolute beginner.

This friendly and easy-to-read e-book will help you to clear away any confusion, taking you from the very first steps you need to take to start off a family tree, through all the steps that professional genealogists use to trace genuine ancestors. You will be shown the best websites and other sources to use and how to use them.

I really enjoyed the fact that I could get immediate access to online sources and start tracing my ancestors while reading the book.

I had very little knowledge about how to trace ancestors before reading this, and I found it very useful, especially Ros's personal examples that helped me to understand the information.

:: What information will I need in order to use this e-book?

To start tracing your UK ancestors, you will need to have some idea of which of your ancestors was born in the UK, and some idea of whereabouts in the UK they came from. If your ancestor was married in the UK, this would also be a good starting point.

:: How far back will I be able to trace my UK ancestors?

Most people can trace their ancestry at least to the 17th century - and potentially it is possible to go back as far as 1538, when parish registers began. Some wealthy or important families may sometimes be traced further back than this. However, there is never any guarantee that you will find ancestors - this depends on what documents or information has survived. This e-book gives you the best chance of finding your UK ancestors and helps you to solve some of the common problems.

:: What are the costs involved in tracing UK ancestors?

This e-book will advise you as to the best websites to use, and you will probably need to subscribe to at least one of these websites in order to use their indexes and view documents. However, mostly these costs are very low and you can do a lot of work without spending much more than around $20-$25 per month. However, if you go beyon 1837, you may need to hire a professional researcher to visit local archives if you cannot visit yourself.

:: How easy will it be to trace my Irish or Scottish ancestors?

While most of the advice in this e-book concentrates on English sources there are links and information for Irish and Scottish websites you can use. Much of the advice given in this book for using sources will apply to these websites.

:: I've heard that our family originated from the UK. Will this book help me to find out how?

This e-book starts with the assumption that you already have some information about your UK ancestors. If you do not have an idea of names and dates in the UK, you will have to start with finding further information in your own country first. Once you have this information, this e-book will help you to extend your UK family tree.

:: What qualifications and credentials does the author have?

I have a BA (Hons), First Class Degree in Humanities, in which my main subjects were English history and literature. I also have a Diploma in 19th & 20th century social history research. I have over 15 years' of experience in tracing ancestors in the UK, and have taught adult education classes in beginners' genealogy. I have also had several historical articles published in some of the top family history magazines published in the UK.
