ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kershaw, Roger / Pearsall, Mark, PUBLISHER: National Archives of England, ong>ong>Familyong>ong> history can be relatively straightforward as long as one's ancestors stayed in ong>theong> same area.

Some settled in new countries or regions of ong>theong> British Isles, while oong>theong>rs arrived in Britain for ong>theong> first time. This book describes how people have moved into, within, and out of Britain from ong>theong> 16th century to ong>theong> present day, and it shows readers which records to consult to track down ong>theong>ir mobile ancestors. As ever in this popular series, ong>theong> chapters are interwoven with practical features on issues that could crop up during research and case studies to illustrate ong>theong> sources.
