The rush of events over the last century and the rapid changes that have taken place in every aspect of life have been dramatic, and the lives of family members of only a generation or two ago may already appear remote. That is why Karen Bali's informative and accessible guide to investigating your immediate ancestors is essential reading, and a handy reference for anyone who is trying to trace them or discover the background to their lives. 505 0 $a Introduction -- Life in the twentieth century -- Civil records -- The census -- Directories and registers -- Wills -- Newspapers, photos and film -- Conflict and defence -- Trades, occupations and professions -- Land, property and place -- Migration and travel -- Tracing living relatives -- Preserving the past for the future. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Genealogy. 650 0 $a Local history $v Sources. 650 0 $a Genealogy. 650 0 $a Genealogy $x Archival resources. 650 0 $a Archival resources $z Great Britain. 650 0 $a Local history $x Research. 830 0 $a Family history from Pen and Sword. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20171107013835.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EDAD5ABA939111E7A673E95E97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
