Family History on the Move: Where Your Ancestors Went and
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kershaw, Roger / Pearsall, Mark, PUBLISHER: National Archives of England, Family history can be relatively straightforward as long as one's ancestors stayed in ong>theong> same area. But few families are as static as this, and with mass migration and empire building during ong>theong> 19th and 20th centuries, most family trees will eventually get to those elusive men and women whose lives took often radical departures. 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.
