Medieval Genealogy cover

Medieval Genealogy provides an account of the records available and the techniques needed to find and understand them. In his accessible and comprehensive guide, Paul Chambers helps the amateur genealogist research records before 1600. Discover how to use wills, taxation lists, parish records, manorial documents, funeral monuments and coats of arms to search for your medieval ancestors. DNA testing can even establish your original ancestral stock - whether Viking, Celt or Middle Eastern. By focusing on published sources, Medieval Genealogy can be used by those who do not have access to original documents. It highlights common problems, clears away misconceptions and fills an obvious gap in the genealogists' library.
