The trail that an ancestor leaves through the Victorian period and
the twentieth century is relatively easy to follow - the records
are plentiful, accessible and commonly used. But how do you go back
further, into the centuries before the central registration of
births, marriages and deaths was introduced in 1837, before the
first detailed census records of 1841? How can you trace a family
line back through the early modern period and perhaps into the
Middle Ages? Jonathan Oates's clearly written new handbook gives
you all the background knowledge you need in order to go into this
engrossing area of family history research. He starts by describing
the administrative, religious and social structures in the medieval
and early modern period and shows how these relate to the family
historian. Then in a sequence of accessible chapters he describes
the variety of sources the researcher can turn to. Church and
parish records, the records of the professions and the courts,
manorial and property records, tax records, early censuses, lists
of loyalty, militia lists, charity records - all these can be
consulted. He even includes a short guide to the best methods of
reading medieval and early modern script. Jonathan Oates's handbook
is an essential introduction for anyone who is keen to take their
family history research back into the more distant past.
