Tracing Your Northern Ancestors by Keith Gregson
The far north of England is a key site for family historians. Many researchers, seeking to trace their ancestry back through the generations, will find their trail leads to the north or through it. And yet, despite the burgeoning interest in genealogy and the importance of the region in so many life stories, no previous book has provided a guide to the documents and records that family historians can use in their search. In this accessible and informative introduction to the subject, Keith Gregson looks at the history and heritage of the region - of Northumberland, Tyneside, Durham, Wearside, Tees Valley and Cumbria - and gives a fascinating insight into the world in which our ancestors lived. He introduces the reader to the variety of records that are available for genealogical research, from legal and ecclesiastical archives, birth and death certificates to the records of local government, employers, institutions, clubs, societies and schools.
Keith Gregson taught history for over thirty years and now works as a full-time family history writer and author. A regular contributor to Ancestors, Family Tree Magazine, Family History Monthly, and Your Family Tree, he is the author of Sporting Ancestors, Tracing your Northern Ancestors, and A Viking in the Family.
