For researchers tracing family lineages across borders and generations, the Genealogical Research Directory: Regional & International 1985 & Guide to Genealogical Societies stands as an indispensable compass in the vast landscape of ancestry research. This authoritative reference volume presents a comprehensive, systematically organised listing of genealogical researchers, their areas of specialisation, and the societies dedicated to preserving and uncovering family histories — spanning cities from London and Paris to Stockholm, Sydney, Toronto, Washington, and Wellington. Compiled by Keith A. Johnson and Malcolm R. Sainty, this directory represents a landmark achievement in the standardisation of genealogical research resources for both amateur family historians and professional researchers alike. Its international scope captures the global network of genealogical inquiry as it existed in the mid-1980s, making it not only a practical tool of its era but also a fascinating historical document in its own right — one that chronicles the organised pursuit of human heritage at a pivotal moment before the digital age transformed the field entirely.
