Louisiana Ancestors
An Anglo-Saxons? guide
By Damon veach
The United States is a nation of immigrants, of whom a large proportion share English, Welsh, Scottish, or Irish ancestry. Tracing these ancestors is a project the entire family can enjoy at home or when on vacation in the British Isles.
?In Search of Your British & Irish Roots" is a clear, concise guide to ancestral research in the British Isles. Angus Baxter, who also authored ?In Search of Your Roots,? offers a solid introduction and a valuable companion to a rewarding search.
He begins with step-by-step instructions on how to draw up a family tree, working with information readily available locally or through letters of inquiry to newspapers and relatives abroad. The search continues by correspondence with family history societies, archives, and other organizations listed here, before concluding with a possible, but not essential trip to the source.
The information Baxter offers has never been collected in one volume, such as the sections on the changed English county boundaries, the availability of adoption records, the valuable indexes collected by the Mormon Church, the scanty Jewish records, the parish and civil registers of England and Wales, the location of wills and military records, the various counties of Wales and Scotland, the division of records between Eire and Northern Ireland, and the family history society that specializes in families originating in the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands.
Finally, the author demonstrates how the threads of fact can be woven into a rich and detailed family history, the ultimate aim of every searcher determined to find the family roots.
Published by William Morrow & Company, this research book sells for $15 and can be ordered throu||hjirwmajor^bookstore^^^^_^^^^^^^^
