Second Stages in Researching Welsh Family History by John Rowlands

Anyone who has had any success in researching their Welsh ancestry will know that a grasp of specialized Welsh genealogical methods and sources is only one of several factors that contributed to that success. They will know, for example, how important it is in Welsh research to have some understanding of the social, cultural, religious, and economic background of the communities in which those ancestors lived. This book attempts to broaden that understanding, especially for the period prior to 1800 when most researchers begin to experience difficulties. In addition, it aims to make readers more aware of some little-known sources and the special uses that may be applied to the information found in these sources.

John Rowlands resided on Hayling Island from 1958 to 1971, after marrying a teacher at Hayling School. While living on Hayling, he developed a keen interest in photography, and in the 1960s had his work exhibited in several UK-based International Exhibitions. John has published over 50 papers on marine corrosion research in the scientific press. This will be his first book about the history of the island he is very fond of. He currently lives in Dorset.
