Discover Your Family Tree: Teach Yourself

Discover Your Family Tree: Teach Yourself is ideal for all those who want to discover more about their ancestors, but aren't sure where to start. It offers a clear path through the maze of available information, from planning the early stages to using internet resources effectively, tracing births, marriages and deaths, searching parish records and the census, and looking through wills and probate records. It offers guidance similarly for those at home and abroad wishing to trace migrant ancestors, with full supporting resources - including how to put the information into a 'Family tree', checklists of questions to ask relatives, and a list of all relevant websites and addresses.
