    3. The Young Family Historian: A young (and possibly not so young) person's guide to genealogy by Bill Taylor (£4.50 + 80p p&p; £1.80 airmail worldwide). This is a book written specifically for teenagers fascinated by the origins and stories of their families. The book, published on a CD in Adobe Acrobat format, describes the necessary steps required to start researching family histories. The language and presentation are aimed at the young person, but the content applies equally to the new and not so knowledgeable family historian, whatever their age. Church & Clayton le Moors Cemetery, Dill Hall Lane, Church (Accrington) - Burial Registers 1889-1999 (£9.50 + 80p p&p; £1.80 airmail worldwide). The CD contains details of 15,950 burials in Adobe Acrobat format that is fully searchable. In most instances, each record includes the date, full name, age, description of relationship or status, the place of death and/or residence and the plot identity. The information is presented in 3 separate tables, sorted in date order, surname/forename order and grave plot order - the latter allows the researcher to check the grave occupancy. The bulk of the burials (14,219) are from addresses in Church, Clayton le Moors, Accrington and Oswaldtwistle with the remainder from the surrounding area, other parts of Lancashire and a few from other counties and overseas. These CDs can be ordered from Dorothy Haworth, 24 Cecil St, Oswaldtwistle BB5 3HF Check the website - http://lancashire-fhhs.org.uk/ Olive
