Introducing Manorial Records: Unlocking the Mysteries of the Manor for Family Historians by Ian H. Waller is a practical and engaging guide designed to help family historians explore one of the richest yet often overlooked sources of genealogical information—manorial records. For centuries, the lives of ordinary people were shaped by the rules and customs of the manor, and these records offer a detailed glimpse into their daily experiences, legal disputes, land transactions, and community roles.
Waller demystifies the complexities of manorial documents, guiding readers through the types of records available, where to find them, and how to interpret them effectively. The book explains the structure of manorial courts, the roles of officials, and the kinds of events that were recorded, making it easier for researchers to identify ancestors and understand their lives within the manorial system. Whether your ancestors lived in rural villages or urban manors, this book provides the tools to unlock their stories and enrich your family history research.
