Discover Your Dorset Ancestors by Chloe O'Shea

Discover Your Dorset Ancestors is the ultimate handbook for all Dorset research. The wealth of information it contains - and how to access it - makes it the Bible of Dorset Research!

Discover Your Dorset Ancestors is aimed at both amateur family historians as well as those experienced genealogists who wish to research their background in the county.

The initial chapters look at different record types, such as newspaper articles, title deeds and manorial records.  There are explanations as to what you may find, where you can find them and the values and limitations of each record type. The later chapters cover other relevant sources of information, such as Family History Societies, museums and the benefits of visiting the parishes where your ancestors once resided.

Focused on Dorset ancestry, this book will be of great relevance to anybody researching their family history within the county.
