About this product

Product Information

Part encyclopedia, part dictionary, part almanac Jonathan Scott's Dictionary of Family History doesn't claim to be exhaustive, but it is practical, easy to use, entertaining and genuinely informative. It is the kind of book you can dip into or use as a starting point for deeper study, and it is the essential companion for experienced family historians and for anyone who is approaching this fascinating subject for the first time. Thousands of A to Z entries are full of intriguing facts. There are definitions, timelines and terminologies, details of archives and websites as well as advice on research methods and explanations of genealogical peculiarities and puzzles that would test the knowledge of even veteran researchers. Longer entries explaining the mechanics of the first census and other major sources and records rub shoulders with simple one-line definitions of obscure terms, useful addresses and signposts to little-known but rewarding corners of family, local and social history. This concise, clear and wide-ranging compendium of helpful, sometimes surprising information is a valuable reference tool for everyone in the field. AUTHOR: Jonathan Scott is a freelance writer specializing in family history. He is a former deputy editor of Family History Monthly and has penned the 'Best Websites' column for Who Do You Think You Are? Magazine since 2007. He also writes the magazine's monthly 'Around Britain' feature and compiles the end-of-year look-ahead at developments online. In addition to his work in family history, he has compiled Collecting Children's Books, Rare Book Price Guide, The Family History Web Directory and Tracing Your British and Irish Ancestors.
