 | Discover Your Family History - DVD Ref: DYFH
Clearance!!
From the Society of Genealogists (SOG), a comprehensive guide for beginners. Experienced genealogists as well as beginners will find this 82min DVD a useful program to learn about where to look for family history records both on and off the internet. You will be shown what the original records look like and how they appear online. We think all new genealogists should watch this DVD to help them tackle their own research. It's the next best thing to going on a course or a guided tour round your local archives. There is a very useful tour of a typical local archive which makes you realise just how much genealogy information is available to you on a visit. The whole DVD is very well put together by a professional presenter Simon Garrett and Else Churchill from the SOG and not forgetting Carl Boardman form the Oxford archives who must be one of the most enthusiastic archivists in the country. We thoroughly recommend this DVD.

By Stuart A. Raymond (2010) 32 pages.
Records of birth/baptisms, marriages and deaths/burials are vital sources for famiy historians. It is impossible to trace pedigrees without consulting them. Civil and parish registers are particularly important, but are not the only places where you can find relevant information. In this series, the author describes the wide range of resources available, indicating where they can be found, and how they should be used.

A concise but extremely informative booklet which has impressed our reviewers with its straight forward approach to understanding the information on marriage certicates as far back as 1538. By far the largest section of this book covers marriages after 1837 and details the information found in each column of the certificate.
Published 2000, Paperback, 44 pages.
