Yes. that's a really useful one, Kerry.

Just thought, mustn't forget 'The Parish Chest' by W. E. Tate.

Another one that I am currently after:

The Phillimore Atlas and Index of Parish Registers

Kerry
I have a spare copy of the first edition of Phillimores Atlas and Index.
If it is of any use to you, it's yours. PM me with your address and I shall post it
Cheers

google books has a lot of free stuff and should help rootschat by having a link on the forum Cheesy

http://books.google.co.uk/bkshp?hl=en&tab=wp

http://books.google.co.uk/bkshp?hl=en&tab=wp

http://books.google.co.uk/bkshp?hl=en&tab=wp

They highlight the places, names of interest and let you search the book also for pages of interest. Some books can be downloaded for free and others will tell you what library has them. Cheesy

Look at car boot sales

I managed to pick up Ancestral Trails by Mark Herber for £1.00 2nd edition 2004

Didn't look as if had ever been opened

Person selling said it had come via a book club but it doesn't look like a book club edition, they are usually marked a club edition

Yes, kerry. I found a pile of old copies of Family Tree Magazine - priced 14p per copy.

Hi All

I have found "The Genealogist's Internet" by Peter Christian, publisher The National Archives, extremely useful for helping with searching the web.  I am a bit surprised that I cannot find a reference to it when I searched Rootschat.

Good hunting

Great thread. I noticed the first posting was from 2003. Has anyone updated this book list since then?

I usually rely on my local library, charity shops or used book stores to purchase or obtain books.  Amazing what one can find in a used book store.    Smiley Smiley  Local library patrons can make requests to the library system to purchase "books of general interest" which include genealogy.
