\"\"<\/a>Moorshead Magazines is the publisher of Family Chronicle, Internet Genealogy, and Discovering Family History. Every so often the company collects the best articles on a particular subject from each of the three magazines and combines them into a special edition. Tracing You English & Scottish Ancestors<\/em><\/a>\u00a0is one such release.<\/p>\n

Produced in 2011, this 56-page special edition features 19 articles relevant to English and Scottish research. A complete list of article can be found below. In addition, before publication articles were updated to ensure source materials and online references were up to date. While some references may change with time, having the source names can help researches find any altered sites usually with some ease. The cover helps describe the contents: “From parish records, birth registrations and electoral rolls to old newspapers, telephone directories and online databases, we’ll show you what you need and where to find it!” Perhaps the best descriptor of contents, in this case, come from the actual list of contents, which can be found below.<\/p>\n

This guide covers topics which can help the researcher find more recent ancestors, even kin still living in the UK or Scotland. Other articles focus on older collections and helpful topics like reading older-style handwriting.
