This is the fifth edition of what has become an almost indispensable aid for family historians. In compiling the new edition, every single entry from the fourth edition has been meticulously checked for accuracy. Web addresses and descriptions have been updated and many valuable new genealogical sites have been added. The book is divided into sections and grouped alphabetically under straightforward headings, such as Births, Baptisms, Marriages, Divorces and Deaths; Census Returns; Emigration and Immigration; Land and Property and Occupations.
