Publisher's Synopsis
The volume begins with researching American colonial records beginning with the Revolutionary War between America and England with a little involvement by the Germans and French. It moved across the big pond, then, to Europe. Since the author can only read English, explanations center around England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland. But the same principles can be applied to other countries in Europe. You will learn where to find birth, marriage, and death records all the way back to the Middle Ages, and locate your ancestor in wars back to medieval times. You will also learn how to check occupational guilds that prevailed then to find our ancestor. The author explains the progression of the English language and how both words and letter formations changed through the years. Did your ancestor have a coat of arms? Many did. You can find out. Did you always hope you ancestor was royalty? Would you settle for a member of the gentry. The odds are that one of your ancestors was one or the other. Let us pick up from what you learned to do in Volume I and soar to exciting places your ancestors lived in, and what life was like for them.
