Thank you, Heather, that's a really good tip.

I agree, to a certain extent, about electronic technology. However, computers can break down, whereas my books stay on my bookshelf and are brilliant as reference books.

Please add any more that you find useful. I shall add some more another time that I have on my bookshelves.

Researching:
Sadd - Suffolk, Newton - Buckinghamshire, McCusker - Galway and Fermanagh, Brooks - London, and many others

The problem with books is that they are out of date so quickly, with technology taking over from paper records.

I left a note on here recently - to look at extracts of unusual, rare books - check out google books search. Go to google page, click on more and then click on search books. Use key words to search.

The very best book on this subject - covers almost everything, is Ancestral Trails, by Herber.

There was, I thought, a thread about books, but I cannot find it.
