| Using the internet has become the easiest and quickest way to find source
material and information for researching family history. However, the vast
quantity of websites can make it all confusing, overwhelming, and end up being
more frustrating than helpful!
This is a second edition of what has become an almost indispensable aid for family historians. Divided into topic sections, it includes a list of sites which deal with the whole spectrum of genealogy. There is a full alphabetical subject guide, providing an accessible directory of web addresses grouped under straightforward heading, such as
- Births, Marriages and Deaths
- Law and Order
- Surnames
- Wartime and Military Sources
This is a extremely useful guide if you want to know more specifically where
to look, rather than just Google and see what you find.
