  • Tracing
  • Your
  • Pre-Victorian
  • Ancestors
  • is
  • the
  • ideal
  • handbook
  • for
  • family
  • historians
  • whose
  • research
  • has
  • reached
  • back
  • to
  • the
  • early
  • nineteenth
  • century
  • and
  • are
  • finding
  • it
  • difficult
  • to
  • go
  • further.
  • John
  • Wintrip
  • guides
  • readers
  • through
  • all
  • the
  • steps
  • they
  • can
  • take
  • in
  • order
  • to
  • delve
  • even
  • more
  • deeply
  • into
  • the
  • past.
  • Carrying
  • research
  • through
  • to
  • earlier
  • periods
  • is
  • more
  • challenging
  • because
  • church
  • registers
  • recorded
  • less
  • information
  • than
  • civil
  • registration
  • records
  • and
  • little
  • census
  • data
  • is
  • available.
  • Researchers
  • often
  • encounter
  • obstacles
  • they
  • don't
  • know
  • how
  • to
  • overcome.
  • But,
  • as
  • this
  • book
  • demonstrates,
  • greater
  • understanding
  • of
  • the
  • sources
  • and
  • the
  • specific
  • records
  • within
  • them,
  • along
  • with
  • a
  • wider
  • knowledge
  • of
  • the
  • historical
  • context,
  • often
  • allows
  • progress
  • to
  • be
  • made.
  • Most
  • important,
  • John
  • Wintrip
  • concentrates
  • on
  • how
  • to
  • do
  • the
  • research
  • on
  • the
  • practical
  • steps
  • that
  • can
  • be
  • taken
  • in
  • order
  • to
  • break
  • through
  • these
  • barriers.
  • He
  • looks
  • at
  • online
  • services,
  • archives
  • and
  • their
  • catalogues,
  • factors
  • that
  • can
  • influence
  • the
  • outcome
  • of
  • research,
  • wider
  • family
  • relationships,
  • missing
  • ancestors
  • and
  • mistaken
  • identity.
  • Throughout
  • the
  • book
  • he
  • emphasizes
  • the
  • process
  • of
  • research
  • and
  • the
  • variety
  • of
  • resources
  • and
  • search
  • tools
  • that
  • can
  • be used.
