Trace Your Orkney Ancestors
 | Price: £8.50 Supplier: James M Irvine |
There is so much information available now, to those who are looking for their Orcadian ancestors, that it can be hard to know where to start or, once you have made a start, where to look next. This book, gives full and concise details on all the possible options.
The author, James M Irvine, writes that the book has three objectives. 1. To summarise the many options now available for accessing the basic data relating to the censuses and births, marriages and deaths in Orkney, and to identify the various pros and cons relevant to choosing the options best suited to each reader's individual circumstances and interests. 2. To introduce those readers who have become "stuck" when trying to trace their ancestry further back, and others who think that all their needs can be met by the IGI and the Internet, to the vast amount of additional genealogical material that may be found elsewhere, and particularly in the vast archives in Edinburgh and Kirkwall. 3. To stimulate research into more than the bare branches of a family tree. Our ancestors lived in a fascinating world very different to today, and much more can be discovered about them than just determining the dates of their birth, marriage and death and the identities of their immediate relatives.
