"Researching family history is one of the most popular leisure activities throughout the world. The wide variety of documents which survive in this country, and overseas, make it possible for genealogists to unearth many generations of ancestors, some as far back as Domesday Book. They can learn about their ancestors' everyday lives and the area in which they lived. To do this, family historians need to extend their knowledge of archives, the legal system, legislation, law enforcement, professions, religion, education, topography, origins of surnames, migration and much more. For this a reference work is an essential tool. The Dictionary of Genealogy provides a very extensive glossary of all the terms encountered in such research. Illustrations provide an easy recognition of all the relevant documents in English and Latin. Supplementary tables and lists make this the most useful one-volume guide on the market for family historians."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Preface _________________________ Everyone has wondered at one time or another, 'Where did my family come from? What sort of people were they? Rich or poor? Merchants or labourers? Royalists or Roundheads? Do the skeletons of gibbeted sheep-stealers or smugglers rattle in our family cupboard? Do we really have any link with the great man, or family, whose surname we share?'
Part One _________________________ The Guide to Ancestry Research
Several choices are available to the beginner in ancestry research. Many people set out to find all their ancestors on both their father's and mother's, grandfathers' and grandmothers' sides (their Ancestry Chart). Some like to trace just their own family with its surname (their Family Tree), perhaps later spreading their interest to take in all branches of it, often including distant cousins in America, Australia and elsewhere (their Extended Family Tree). People with a fairly uncommon surname may decide to look for traces of all people of the same name, just in case they may be distantly related (one-name studies). And finally, for those who have complied a family tree there is the fascinating quest to find out what kind of lives their forebears lived, and to write a narrative account of them (a Family History). Let us take a closer look at these aims.
