The book begins with a detailed overview of the history and development of the LDS Church, particularly focusing on its growth in Britain and the subsequent emigration of British converts to North America during the 19th century.
Waller provides practical guidance on how to trace Mormon ancestors using a wide range of genealogical sources. These include church records, emigration documents, and microfilm archives, both in the UK and the United States. The book also includes a directory of LDS Family History Centres and other key resources, making it a valuable tool for navigating the extensive records maintained by the Church.
