The National Archives Guide to Exploring your Past - Finding your Ancestors

Excellently presented book - This is the one family history publication you will not want to do without. You might be starting out on your ancestral search or seeking fresh genealogical avenues: here you are offered a wealth of reliable advice covering the archives, the records, the research methods and more. However, this guide goes further than most, recognizing that the process of establishing lines of descent is enriched by exploration of past times.

Starting with the twentieth century, David Hey looks down the ages to cover not just establishing our ancestors' names, but also how they lived: their daily experience, their communities, and their society. You will discover that family history is as much an imaginative journey as a challenge in research.
