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.Local historySourcesGenealogyArchival resourcesArchival resourcesGreat BritainGreat BritainGenealogyLocal historyGenealogyArchival resources.Archival resources929.1072041Bali Karen1249117MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910155110103321Tracing your twentieth-century ancestors2894828UNINA
