This practical and comprehensive guide provides an indispensable introduction to everything family historians need to know in order to trace their ancestors.

The emphasis is on sources available in Hertfordshire, and particularly those held in the Family History Centre at Hertfordshire Archives and Local Studies (HALS), but all major sources are covered and web addresses allow preliminary searching to be done online.
