A Genealogical must-have
This book has been on my shelves for nearly 40 years and it is the one I most often return to. Any genealogist or family historian who wants to know what records their ancestor may have left behind will discover a wealth of information and excellent examples of many parish records that are so neglected by many. A clear explanation of all the official positions in the parish hierarchy, how they were elected and their duties, gives an insight into the records they created and which you may find. Even parish registers are considered in minute detail showing how various Acts affected their appearance and content. Highly recommended.
