Family
History
Cultures and Faiths,
by Michael
Gandy, 2005. 256
pages, 4.5x6.5", softbound book. Explore how
the lives of your ancestors were shaped by traditions of
cultures and faiths and how communities maintained and
celebrated their beliefs. For centuries, the patterns of our
ancestors’ lives were shaped by traditions of culture and
faith, and they left a rich legacy of documents, registers
and possessions. This wide-ranging guide shows how to use
religious records of life’s milestones – such as
christening, confirmation, marriage and burial – in family
history research, drawing on material in the National
Archives and elsewhere. It covers the diverse faiths of
Britain – Church of England, Catholic, Non-conformist,
Jewish, Muslim, Hindu and others – and suggests the best
sources for each, from the earliest records to more recent
times. Full of practical advice for all levels of
experience, the book offers solutions for common problems
and advice on how to find out more. It also explores how and
where communities maintained their beliefs, from
celebrations and festivals to religious buildings and
schools. Abi Husainy, records specialist in South Asian
history at The National Archives, contributes a chapter
exploring the establishment of Hindu, Muslim and Sikh
cultures and faiths in Britain since the 1830s, and points
to numerous record sources in the UK and Asia.

Family History
on the Move, by Roger Kershaw and Mark Pearsall,
2006. 256 pages, 4.5x6.5", softbound book.
Family history can be relatively straightforward as long as
one’s ancestors did not move around too much or change
locality. However, with the mass migrations and empire
building during the 19th and 20th centuries, most family
trees will eventually get to those hard-to-pin-down men and
women whose lives took often radical departures – and who
settled in new countries or regions of the British Isles, or
arrived in Britain for the first time. This book describes
those movements into, within, and out of the UK from the
sixteenth century to the present day, and shows readers
which records to consult to track down their mobile
ancestors. The chapters are interwoven with practical
features on issues that could crop up during research and
case studies to illustrate the sources.

Family History
in the Wars, by William Spencer,
2007. 256 pages, 4.5x6.5", softbound book. As
both wars begin to pass into history, this is the perfect
tool for discovering how your family suffered and served.
The World Wars of last century were the greatest conflicts
ever known. Over a million men and women enlisted and served
in British armed forces alone between 1914-18, and the
figure for the Second World War was even higher. Almost
every family has ancestral links to the Services, but
finding details on individuals has often proved a difficult
task. This clear, accessible guide shows how to get the very
best from all sources now available. It gives expert advice
on researching men’s and women’s service records for World
War I and II, including Army, Navy, Air Force, nursing and
merchant seamen. Wide-ranging in scope and practical in
approach, it shows how best to trace an individual’s career,
including medals and gallantry awards, prisoner of war files
and casualty lists. Women who served in both conflicts are
well represented, from the online releases of Women’s
Auxiliary Corps records to First World War nurses, and newly
available naval records open whole new avenues for research.
Special techniques and tips are provided for tracing family
members in the Commonwealth and Dominion forces and the
Indian Army, and a special section considers how to use
British and American sources to discover details of American
servicemen and GI brides. AD2378-$8.00

Reading Early American
Handwriting,
by Kip Sperry. 8½x11", 290 pages, softbound book.
This book is designed to teach you how to read and understand the handwriting
found in documents commonly used in genealogical research. It explains
techniques for reading early American documents, provides samples of alphabets
and letter forms, and defines terms and abbreviations commonly used in early
American documents such as wills, deeds, and church records. Furthermore, it
presents numerous examples of early American records for the reader to work
with, for it is the author's contention that by studying and transcribing each
of these documents--letter-by-letter, word-by-word--readers will become
proficient in reading and understanding early American handwriting. Arranged by
degree of difficulty, from relatively easy-to-read documents of the nineteenth
century to those of the sevententh century, the documents showcase examples of
handwriting styles, letter forms, abbreviations, and terminology typically found
in early American records. Each document--nearly 100 of them at various stages
of complexity--appears with the author's transcription on a facing page,
enabling the reader to check his own transcription. This strategy allows the
reader to attain proficiency in reading the documents at a natural rate of
progression. Also covered in the work, with particular emphasis on handwriting,
are numbers and roman numerals, dates and the change from the Julian Calendar to
the Gregorian Calendar, abbreviations and contractions, and standard terms found
in early American records. In addition, there is a timely section on the
Internet and compact discs, as well as an annotated bibliography of books and
articles of particular interest to genealogists and historians. Taken together,
these features describe a book that is absolutely indispensable in learning to
read early American handwriting. AD827-$30.00
