Google Books - Manual for Genealogist
« on: Tuesday 24 April 07 18:09 UTC (UK) »
For anyone who hasn't tried browsing through Google Books - you should give it a go - there are lots of fascinating old books there - all digitised and ready to download. 

I found this one today - and old manual from 1861 all about Genealogy resources and books... Gives explanations of what records there were and what they were for etc... just like a modern day manual in fact Smiley

A Manual for the Genealogist, Topographer, Antiquary, and Legal Professor:  by Richard Sims - 1861
A Manual for the Genealogist:  by Richard Sims - 1861
