Grow Your Own Family Tree The easy guide to researching family history

Grow Your Own Family Tree shows you how to locate and use a range of records and information to track down all the heroes and villains of your own family story. There is advice and information about everything, from finding census information and ordering a birth certificate to finding out whether your great-great-uncle committed a disciplinary offence whilst in the army. There are many case studies and real-life examples showing vividly how others have traced their family stories, along with all kinds of helpful timelines, tips and useful pictures. And unlike other books on the subject, this book's scope extends far beyond Britain. Families move around a surprising amount (for instance Scotland's name comes from the Irish tribe who moved there) and the book helps you trace the paths of your relatives around Britain and across the world and back again.
