There is also an excellent article about Dade Registers by Pauline M Litton in Family Tree Magazine July 1995. In 1998, Family History Magazine began a series by Pauline Litton called 'Pitfalls and Possibilities in Family History Research'. The series ran for several years and was exceptional, in my opinion, for climbing over those inevitable 'brick walls' and giving reasons why ancestors had become elusive!! And ideas where to look next!! I often refer to them all these years later. They are well worth reading if you can get hold of copies from back then! Local libraries perhaps.

You are quite right in that she drew attention to Dade Registers well before I did. She is also the secretary of the Yorkshire Parish Registers branch of the Yorkshire Archaeological Society, which has published a great many Yorkshire registers including many Dade Registers. Pauline is the doyenne of Yorkshire genealogy and I would indeed recommend her articles to everybody. -- Roy Stockdill Professional genealogical researcher, writer & lecturer Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
