Synopsis:
Comprehensive guide to using the records of The National Archives at Kew and the Family Records Centre for family history research. Written by senior archivist Amanda Bevan, this seventh, fully revised edition explains how The National Archives is organised and how its vast collections are catalogued, described and accessed both on-site and online. It details the major record series that genealogists use, including census returns, civil registration records, wills and probate, military and naval records, merchant seamen, immigration and emigration, records of the poor and of crime and punishment, and many more specialised sources.
The book shows how to interpret catalogue entries and original documents, and highlights what information different classes of records can provide about individuals and families. A new feature of this edition is explicit guidance on how each record type can be accessed – whether via the web, digitised collections, microfilm or original documents – together with an index to record series and an additional chapter on finding and using other archives beyond The National Archives. Aimed at everyone from beginners to experienced researchers, it is widely regarded as the standard handbook for tracing ancestors in British national records.
