Family History on the move by Roger Kershaw and Mark Pearsall

This pocket sized guide tells us how our ancestors moved into, within and out of Britain from the 16th century to the present day. This clear, accessible guide shows readers which records to consult to track down their roaming ancestors.

Family history can be relatively straightforward as long as records show that our ancestors stayed in the same area. Most family trees will eventually get to those elusive relatives whose lives often took different turns, with some settling in new countries or different areas within Britain, while others arrived in the country from abroad.
