Click to zoom
This practical guide is designed for family historians seeking to explore the lives of their 20th-century ancestors—a period often overlooked in traditional genealogical research. Stuart A. Raymond introduces readers to the wide array of modern records that emerged after the decline of parish registers, including civil registration, electoral rolls, employment files, military service documents, and more.
With clarity and precision, the book explains how to access and interpret these sources, offering strategies for navigating the complexities of more recent history. It’s especially useful for those tracing relatives through the upheavals of the two World Wars, the expansion of the welfare state, and the growing availability of personal documentation.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced researcher branching into modern records, this book provides a solid foundation for uncovering the stories of your 20th-century family.
