Part encyclopedia, part dictionary, part almanac - Jonathan Scott's
Dictionary of Family History doesn't claim to be exhaustive, but it
is practical, easy to use, entertaining and genuinely informative.
It is the kind of book you can dip into or use as a starting point
for deeper study, and it is the essential companion for experienced
family historians and for anyone who is approaching this
fascinating subject for the first time. Thousands of A to Z entries
are full of intriguing facts. There are definitions, timelines and
terminologies, details of archives and websites as well as advice
on research methods and explanations of genealogical peculiarities
and puzzles that would test the knowledge of even veteran
researchers. Longer entries explaining the mechanics of the first
census and other major sources and records rub shoulders with
simple one-line definitions of obscure terms, useful addresses and
signposts to little-known but rewarding corners of family, local
and social history. This concise, clear and wide-ranging compendium
of helpful, sometimes surprising information is a valuable
reference tool for everyone in the field.
