Books and publications

Whether you are just starting out on the journey to discover your family’s history or are a seasoned researcher, you’ll find this book of traditional-style research sheets invaluable for recording names, places, event dates and relationships. 

Based on a classic design used by genealogists in the UK and USA since the 1800s, the sheets can be used to record details of your own, or other people’s families from anywhere in the world.

Each sheet allows you to add a father and mother, and up to ten children. Record the names, details of birth, christening or baptisms, marriages, death and burials for them all. You can also add any other marriages or relationships for the father and mother, plus the names of their own parents.

Few trees are ever 100% standard, so we’ve given you space to write additional notes on the back of each sheet. You can record verified facts, rumours, additional children or whatever information you need to build your family tree.

To help guide you in how to complete a sheet, we’ve provided a sample at the back of book showing a fictional family and our suggested way of recording their details. 

You will also find a list of recommended resources which we hope will be of use to both new and experienced researchers. 

We wish you every success in discovering the stories, uncovering the evidence and breaking down those mysterious brick walls as you explore the lives, loves and losses of the families you investigate. 

Good luck in your research!
