The far north of England is a key site for family historians. Many researchers, seeking to trace their ancestry back through the generations, will find their trail leads to the north or through it. And yet, despite the burgeoning interest in genealogy and the importance of the region in so many life stories, no previous book has provided a guide to the documents and records that family historians can use in their search. More information http://globalgenealogy.com/countries/england/general/105013.htm BOOKS - Vital Record Notices Extracted from Early Canadian Methodist Periodicals 1830-1890 By Donald A. McKenzie. Mr. McKenzie spent two decades meticulously transcribing genealogical extractions from a variety of Methodist newspapers and periodicals covering the period of 1830 to 1890. Oftentimes these records are the only documented trace of a birth, marriage, death or family connections of an individual in the early 19th Century. For others, these published announcements can contain more or different information than was recorded on surviving church and civil records. A significant percentage of Canadian Protestants in this time-frame adhered to the Methodist faith, while many others accepted the services of Methodist circuit riders when churches of thier faith had not been established in their communities yet.
