Pitfalls and Possibilities in Family History Research - Download
Pitfalls and Possibilities in Family History Research.
If your ancestors are proving elusive and the records are not where you expected, or do not contain the information you anticipated, then Pitfalls and Possibilities is the book for you. Based on a series of articles with the same title published in Family Tree Magazine, updated and expanded, it is not a book on ‘how to do your family tree.’ Rather it suggests unexplored avenues and additional sources which you may not have considered. Possible errors and omissions in original records, transcriptions and indexes – often caused by poor handwriting, inconsistent spelling and regional accents – are described and illustrated.
Family history is like a game of snakes and ladders and this book should help you to reach the final square.
*Now only available to download - the book and CD are sold out.
