Tracing Your Black Country Ancestors
by Michael Pearson
The Black Country was the ‘Workshop of the World’ and is a difficult area for researchers in their quest for their ancestors. Mainly due to the region being originally part of three counties (Staffordshire, Worcestershire and Shropshire, then in 1974 it became part of the West Midlands. There are many archives and museums where documents and records may be found. This book will assist you to unravel that complicated situation. It covers much more, however, and includes details of many of the trades and industries that were prevalent, including mining, iron and steel making and many of the other industries that existed during the Industrial Revolution. It also explores the dialect of the region, the pre-history of the Black Country and how Black Country folk lived their lives.
