A NEAR FINE, bright, clean, tight scholar/collector-worthy copy sans flaws. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the title page: "Best Wishes, Colin R. Chapman". 108 pages. From the author's Preface: "I began tracing my British ancestors over 40 years ago with help from family and friends, professionals and amateurs; and I have been lecturing on British genealogical research and British social and family history for twenty-five years. On many occasions my audiences world-wide asked why I hadn't, until now, written a book in the Chapman's Records Cameo series on tracing British ancestors. My response was generally that there were books already in print on the subject. "But not," my audiences insisted "with fascinating details, those extra snippets of information that you weave into your presentations". And many other books made only passing references to Scottish and Irish research and have often totally ignored the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands.This book attempts to redress the balance and to include a host of useful facts, whilst taking you, the ancestor-hunter, by the hand through some of the sources available."
