From Library Journal One of the classic British Isles genealogy handbooks, this book has been available since 1982 ( LJ 11/15/82). The 1991 edition is described as "revised and updated for the 1990s," but the material is basically the same except for address changes. Baxter provides solid information on getting started, corresponding with organizations, and preparing a family history. County record offices for all counties, as well as the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, records divided between Eire and Northern Ireland, and Scotland's regional archives are included. Information is also provided on using Mormon and Jewish rec ords, and records for adoption, the military, and wills. The bibliography is basic but current. Recommended for libraries if an earlier edition is not owned.- Judith P. Reid, Library of CongressCopyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Genealogical Pub. Co

This work is designed to guide the reader through the complexities of genealogical research in Europe, whether done in person or by correspondence. It covers the various types of genealogical records available in each country, where they are found and how they are used. With up-to-date information on church, state, and provincial archives (including current addresses), and a discussion of the characteristics of each area and the ways in which they affect the research process, it opens up great possibilities for tracing ancestors in Europe. Described in detail are the archival resources of each country from the national to the local level; the location of church records and census returns; the systems of civil registration of births, marriages, and deaths; and how to find and use such records as certificates of domicile, orphan lists, emigration registers, guild records, internal passports, confirmation records, and even vaccination lists. Besides the customary revisions and updates,

In Search of Your European Roots: A Complete Guide to Tracing Your Ancestors in Every Country in Europe

The new, third edition of In Search of Your German Roots is designed to help you trace your German ancestry in all the German-speaking areas of Europe, from the Baltic to the Crimea, from Czechoslovakia to Belgium. The unification of Germany in 1990 resulted in the absorption of the area formerly known as East Germany, or the D.D.R., into the political structure of West Germany, its states, provinces, districts, towns, even churches, now conforming to a national system of organization. Of immediate concern to the genealogist is that changes in local government in "East" Germany have resulted in various innovations in record-keeping practices, in changes in the actual location of some records and record offices, and in the restructuring of old institutions. In addition, in July 1993, every postal address in Germany was changed with the introduction of the new 5-digit postal code system. For research purposes it is essential that the genealogist be current with all of these changes, and therefore Angus Baxter has updated his classic text In Search of Your German Roots, presenting for the first time a manual for genealogical research in a united Germany! And not only does this updated edition reflect changes brought about by unification and changes in the postal codes; the entire work has been revised and updated, and it is now the most current and comprehensive guide to German roots available!
