Genealogically and historically, Kent is an important maritime
county which has played a prime defensive role in English history.
It is large and diverse and replete with great houses, castles and
other family homes, many with their own archives. It is also a
fascinating area of research for family and local historians, and
David Wright's handbook is the perfect guide to it. For thirty-five
years he has been working with the various Kent archives, and his
extensive experience means he is uniquely well placed to introduce
them to other researchers and show how they can be used. He
summarizes the many different classes of Kent records, both
national and local. For the first time he draws together the best
of modern indexing and cataloguing along with other
long-established sources to produce a balanced and up-to-date
overview of Kentish genealogical sources - where to find them,
their contents and utility to researchers. Tracing Your Kent
Ancestors is essential reading and reference for newcomers to
family history, and it will be a mine of practical information for
researchers who have already started to work in the field.

Almost all of us have a tradesman or craftsman - a butcher, baker
or candlestick maker - somewhere in our ancestry, and Adele Emm's
handbook is the perfect guide to finding out about them - about
their lives, their work and the world they lived in. She introduces
the many trades and crafts, looks at their practices and long
traditions, and identifies and explains the many sources you can go
to in order to discover more about them and their families.
Chapters cover the guilds, the merchants, shopkeepers, builders,
smiths and metalworkers, cordwainers and shoemakers, tailors and
dressmakers, coopers, wheelwrights and carriage-makers, and a long
list of other trades and crafts. The training and apprenticeships
of individuals who worked in these trades and crafts are described,
as are their skills and working conditions and the genealogical
resources that preserve their history and give an insight into
their lives. A chapter covers the general sources that researchers
can turn to - the National Archives, the census, newspapers, wills,
and websites - and gives advice on how to use them.Adele Emm's
introduction will be fascinating reading for anyone who is
researching the social or family history of trades and crafts.
