Tracing Your Pre-Victorian Ancestors is the ideal handbook for
family historians whose research has reached back to the early
nineteenth century and are finding it difficult to go further. John
Wintrip guides readers through all the steps they can take in order
to delve even more deeply into the past. Carrying research through
to earlier periods is challenging because church registers recorded
less information than civil registration records and little census
data is available. Researchers often encounter obstacles they don't
know how to overcome. But, as this book demonstrates, greater
understanding of the sources and the specific records within them,
along with a wider knowledge of the historical context, often
allows progress to be made. Most important, John Wintrip
concentrates on how to do the research - on the practical steps
that can be taken in order to break through these barriers. He
looks at online services, archival repositories and their
catalogues, factors that can influence the outcome of research,
wider family relationships, missing ancestors and mistaken
identity.Throughout the book he emphasizes the process of research
and the variety of search tools that can be used.
