Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Genealogist Keith Gregson takes the reader on a whistle-stop tour of quirky family stories and strange ancestors rooted out by amateur and professional family historians. Each lively entry tells the story behind each discovery and then offers a brief insight into how the researcher found and then followed up their leads, revealing a range of chance encounters and the detective qualities required of a family historian. For example, one researcher discovered that his great-great-grandfather, as a child, was carried across the main street of West Hartlepool on the back of the famous tightrope walker Blondin. The Victorian newspaper report said that the rope had been tied between two chimney pots. Research into the author's own family revealed that one of his nineteenth-century ancestors lost his leg in a Midlands coal-mining accident, and that the amputated leg was buried in the local cemetery to be joined by the rest of him on his final demise. A Viking in the Family is full of similar unexpected discoveries in the branches of family trees. A Viking in the family and other family trees Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The far north of England is a key site for family historians. Many researchers, seeking to trace their ancestry back through the generations, will find their trail leads to the north or through it. And yet, despite the burgeoning interest in genealogy and the importance of the region in so many life stories, no previous book has provided a guide to the documents and records that family historians can use in their search. In this accessible and informative introduction to the subject, Keith Gregson looks at the history and heritage of the region - of Northumberland, Tyneside, Durham Wearside, Tees Valley and Cumbria - and gives a fascinating insight into the world in which our ancestors lived. He introduces the reader to the variety of records that are available for genealogical research, from legal and ecclesiastical archives, birth and death certificates to the records of local government, employers, institutions, clubs, societies and schools. AUTHOR: KEITH GREGSON writes on family history and specialises as a historian of the social and economic history of the nineteenth century, a period of agricultural and industrial revolution that transformed the lives of the people of the North. He was born on northern parents and raised from infancy in the North where he still lives and writes. He has published a number of works of regional significance including Cambrian Songs and Ballads and Corvan - A Victorian Entertainer and His Songs * Comprehensive introduction to researching Northern ancestors Covers Northumberland, Tyneside, Durham, Wearside, Tees Valley, Cumbria, * Brings family history to life by exploring the world in which your ancestors lived, Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
