Publisher's blurb

A comprehensive and up to date guide to tracing British ancestry, the book guides the researcher through the substantial British archives with a detailed view of the records and published sources available. Research in Scotland, Wales, Ireland, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands is also covered, as are the latest developments in information technology applications on CD and through the internet.

Chris Pomery's verdict

Regular bestseller on Amazon that is reckoned to be the definitive guide to British genealogical resources. The new 2004 edition, available only in hardback in the UK & Canada, takes account of many of the changes in the field since Ancestral Trails was first published, including internet materials.

“DNA opens a new window into history. This book shows, in a very clear and straightforward way, how to start.”

Steve Jones, Professor of Genetics, UCL  

“If you have any interest in how DNA tests can be used in family history, then you should read this book.”

Alan Stewart, Family History Monthly

“I can hardly believe it but the book you posted in England on Monday arrived in Ontario on Friday. I have been reading it most of the weekend. An excellent resource.
J P Bradford, Canada

“This is a book I've been wanting for some time...a ‘must have' for one-namers, informative and useful for all family historians.”

Howard Benbrook, Guild of One-Name Studies

“This comprehensive manual should be on every one-namer's desk and will be of great benefit to anyone researching their ancestors.
Maurice Hemingway, Hemingway One-Name Study

“I read it cover to cover and judge it to be an excellent guide to the topic for the masses who are baffled and bemused
as to what 'genetic genealogy' is all about.”
