Book Description

Excerpt from Records and Record Searching: A Guide to the Genealogist and Topographer I fear I shall be blamed by many for my temerity in printing What little I have learned during the last quarter of a century about the Public Records - especially by those who, being better qualified than I to undertake the task, have refrained from doing so, in the hope that some day they may bring out a perfect Handbook to such Records. That none of my critics in posse have taken the trouble to print such a work is my excuse for putting forward this very indifferent substitute for it.
