Critics Review

“Numerous bibliographic and web link references are included throughout the book, to take the researcher to more in-depth resources. Multiple indexes arranged by place, name and subject also simplify the location of material. This book is up to Mr. Raymond’s usual high standards of a practical, comprehensive, clearly written research guide. It is highly recommended.”– “Milner Genealogy”“There are some parish records available for research on the main genealogy sites, but it is a safe bet that most are still housed within the confines of the various CofE churches and their offices. Stuart Raymond’s excellent books suggests various ways of getting at this vital information.”– “Books Monthly”Numerous bibliographic and website references are included throughout the book to guide the researcher to more in-depth resources.
