Practical and useful

This small book is a companion to our video ‘How to Trace your family Tree’. The book and video together make up our Starter Pack. Aimed at beginners, and packed full of practical hints and tips, the book will be especially useful to anyone tracing Australian and British ancestors from Australia.

The book closely follows the video sequence, with contents as follows:

Chapter One: Getting started (Start with yourself; verify everything; limit your research; talk to relatives; don't reinvent the wheel; join Family History Societies)

Chapter Two: Basic Records (Civil Registration; what you need to know before you use the indexes; where to access records; using the indexes; obtaining certificates)

Chapter Three: Other records (Parish registers; the I.G.I.; census records; other Irish records; other records for later)

Chapter Four: Organising your research (Filing your papers; using a computer)

Chapter Five: Using the Internet (Getting help from other genealogists; useful websites)
