Pitfalls and Possibilities in Family History Research
Description
If your ancestors are proving elusive and the records are not where you expected, or do not contain the information you anticipated, then Pitfalls and Possibilities is the book for you. Based on a series of articles with the same title published in Family Tree Magazine. This is not a book on 'how to do your family tree.' Far more useful, it suggests unexplored avenues and additional sources which you may not have considered.
Possible errors and omissions in original records, transcriptions and indexes – often caused by poor handwriting, inconsistent spelling and regional accents – are described and illustrated. Family history is like a game of snakes and ladders and this book should help you to reach the final square.
First published in 2010 with some minor updates in 2012, Now exclusively available on our website and only available to download - the book and CD are sold out. The price was £11.99. Now reduced to £9.00
The author, Pauline Litton was awarded her MBE from Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in January 2013 for services to genealogy and family history. The first ever award in this field and very well deserved.
