A Genealogical must-have - By: Sandra J. Smith, 22 Dec 2007
This book has been on my shelves for nearly 40 years & it is the one I most often return to. Any genealogist or family historian who wants to know what records their ancestor may have left behind will discover a wealth of information & excellent examples of many parish records that are so neglected by many. A clear explanation of alll the official positions in the parish hierarchy, how they were elected & their duties, gives an insight into the records they created & which you may find. Even parish registers are considered in minute detail showing how various Acts affected their appearance & content. Highly recommended.
