Colin D. Rogers presents a systematic, authoritative manual that instructs researchers on how to analyse and solve the most challenging genealogical problems, drawing on a vast array of primary sources spanning from 1538 to the present day — from parish registers and census returns to wills, land records, and civil registration documents. Written with the precision of a seasoned archivist and the clarity of an experienced educator, the book details common pitfalls and methodological traps that ensnare even experienced family historians, offering practical strategies to overcome them.\n\nRogers argues that successful genealogical research demands not just patience, but a detective's analytical rigour — a philosophy that infuses every chapter of this enlarged and updated edition. The work stands as a cornerstone text in British genealogical literature, celebrated for its methodical approach and its comprehensive coverage of record types unique to England and Wales. Whether you are tracing a brick wall ancestor or verifying a tenuous family connection, this manual will leave you questioning just how much of your family's story is still waiting to be discovered.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203257016539,"sku":"2026200015691-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/a3366df7-3f80-4a1c-88fb-c1a3e6d5e509.png?v=1788146587","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200015691-secondhand-the-family-tree-detective-a-manual-for-analysing-and-solving-genealogical-problems-in-england-and-wales-1538-to-the-present-day","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
