The Oxford Companion to Family and Local History is the most
authoritative guide available to all things associated with the
family and local history of the British Isles. It provides
practical and contextual information for anyone enquiring into
their English, Irish, Scottish, or Welsh origins and for anyone
working in genealogical research, or the social history of the
British Isles. This fully revised and updated edition contains over
2,000 entries from adoption to World War records. Recommended web
links for many entries are accessed and updated via the Family and
Local History companion website. This edition provides guidance on
how to research your family tree using the internet and details the
full range of online resources available. Newly structured for ease
of use, thematic articles are followed by the A-Z dictionary and
detailed appendices, which include further reading. New articles
for this edition are: 'A Guide for Beginners', 'Links between
British and American Families', 'Black and Asian Family History',
and an extended feature on 'Names'. With handy research tips, a
full background to the social history of communities and
individuals, and an updated appendix listing all national and local
record offices with their contact details, this is an essential
reference work for anyone wanting advice on how to approach
genealogical research, as well as a fascinating read for anyone
interested in the past.
