Dear All, I am pleased to announce the release of a CD rom containing scanned images of 3 books dealing with the Halifax area, compiled with the Family History researcher in mind. These books are as follows: 1. The History of Halifax by John Crabtree (1836). This covers pre-Roman times to the date of publication. There is information on the various townships in Halifax parish. Not too many names, but lots of historical information. (573 pages) 2. Halifax families and Worthies by J. Horsfall Turner (1883). Lots of names and families in this. Covers all the "important" families and lots of others besides. (378 pages) 3. Halifax Guardian's 1908 Almanac. Exactly what it says! Quite a lot of (not the best quality) photographs of people and events etc., lots of names of people who were in office in Halifax at that time. (288 pages, nearly half of these being adverts with some very strange machines!). The CD rom costs 15 pounds (all in). For further information such as the indexes to the books, please see my Web-pages (URL below). This message was posted with the permission of the list administrator.
