Straddling parts of Counties Antrim and Down, the city of Belfast
has seen its fair share of history across the centuries. From its
humble beginnings as a ford based settlement between two
tributaries of the River Lagan, it grew following its grant of a
charter in 1613 to become a corporation town, and expanded
dramatically when later made a city in 1888\. Along the way it has
experienced the darkest of times, including the Belfast Blitz and
the recent Troubles, to some of the most enlightened developments
across Ireland and the UK. In Tracing Your Belfast Ancestors,
genealogist and best-selling author Chris Paton returns home to
provide a research gateway for those wishing to trace their
ancestors from the Northern Irish capital. With a concise summary
of the city's history, a tour of some of the city's most amazing
archives, libraries and museums, and a detailed overview of the
records generated by those who came before, he expertly steers the
reader towards centuries of ancestral exploration, both through
online resources and within the city of Belfast itself - and with a
wee bit of craic along the way!
