 :)I just love rootschat site, this thread has some great links for books and other sites.....pure brilliant 'Thank You'
Like others I often visit our local Charity Shops, and have found some great books to help my research.
And my local Library.....aahh!! sometimes I nearly get locked in...lol.... :)cheers Summers

Is the list up to date? It's highly readable in itself. On Amazon and Abe's List I found a lot of sources' this one is general but perhaps useful,  "The Organized Family Historian: How to File, Manage, and Protect Your Genealogical Research and Heirlooms." (National Genealogical Society Guides) by Ann Fleming.

I'm embarking, meaning beginning work in the Cobbledick family so I'm doing this from the ground up.

I got one for Christmas "How to trace your family history on the internet" published by Readers Digest.It  starts you off from scratch and also comes with a cd!!It's helped me a lot with being a total beginner!!!!

Thanks Kerryb

But, no luck there either.

I've found "The Family Tree Detective: A manual for tracing your ancestors in England and Wales," by Colin D. Rogers, really helpful.

(Also the Cumbrian Archive Service's book: "Cumbrian Ancestors; Notes for Genealogical Searchers," is really useful if you're searching in Westmorland!)
