Whether you conduct your research in person or by mail,  this celebrated manual--now in its Fourth Edition--will guide you in finding  your ancestors in Britain or Ireland. Noted genealogist Angus Baxter provides  detailed instructions for locating records abroad and shows how easy it is to do  it by mail--or on a vacation trip!
He begins with step-by-step instructions on drawing up a  family tree, and explains how to use sources close at hand. The search continues  by correspondence with family history societies, record offices, and other  organizations listed here, before concluding with a possible--but not  essential--trip to the source, Britain or Ireland.
The Fourth Edition of this classic work includes  discussions of the following topics:
* The transfer of important genealogical records from  Chancery Lane and St. Catherine's House to the new Family Records Centre in  London--most notably, civil registration records, census returns, and records of  the Prerogative Court of Canterbury
* The 1986, 1996, and 1998 reorganization of counties in  England and Wales and the latest information on where to find local records.  Where available, URLs are given for county record offices (CROs), as well as for  major repositories. Phone and fax numbers, if available, are also given for CROs  and other archives
* The British Library transfer of many of its collections  from the Great Russell Street location (inside the British Museum) to a new  facility at St. Pancras, London
* The establishment of the Irish Genealogical Project
* The 1998 amalgamation of the Public Record Office and  State Paper Office into the National Archives of Ireland
In the end, Baxter demonstrates how the threads of fact can  be woven into a rich and detailed family history, the ultimate goal of every  searcher determined to find his family roots.
