Regional Research Guidebook by Andrew Chapman

Description

Every part of the United Kingdom has its own, distinctive history – not just the major battles and key historical events which may have played out there, but also the smaller details of everyday life which impinged upon the actual lives of our ancestors more directly. The team behind the popular family and social history magazine Discover Your Ancestors has put together a region-by-region guide to the United Kingdom which will give you a flavour of each area’s history and a run-down of the many useful resources available to researchers, including:
*Details of typical occupations in each area
*Common surnames
*Online data resources
*Record offices, family history societies and regimental museums
*County boundary changes
The British Isles have so much diverse history and character, it’s a real pleasure to explore it through your family history. This book will provide a useful reference tool to keep at hand!
