Jonathan Scott's Family History Web Directory is an information-packed
reference guide that distills the best of the internet into one
easy-to-use format. Themed sections cover different topics, from
'getting started' to specific occupations, and there is an index
reproducing all the websites in A-Z order. His handbook is a vital
source for less experienced researchers, and a handy aide-memoire for
more seasoned campaigners.
Web addresses are listed by topic, then in order of importance and
usefulness. An extraordinary range of sites that will interest family
historians is included - from records of births and deaths, tax, crime
and religion, to military records and records of work and occupations.
Also featured are sites that give information about archives, blogs and
forums, social networking and sharing research.
The internet can be an overwhelming place for the genealogist. Jonathan
Scott's book provides readers with online shortcuts, tips for getting
the best from well-known websites, plus the details of all kinds of
lesser-known and hard-to-find sources.
