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 ends up being more frustrating than helpful!
This is the third edition of what has become an almost indispensable aid for family historians - a reference work to key sites on various topics associated with genealogy.
In compiling the new edition, every single entry from the second edition has been meticulously checked for accuracy. Web addresses and descriptions have been updated and many valuable new genealogical sites have been added.
The book is divided into sections groups alphabetically under headings such as: Births, Marriages & Deaths; Law & Order; Surnames; and Wartime & 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.
Published in the UK, this does have a UK slant to the web addresses.
