Arthur Mee’s Kings England series

In the 1930s and 40s, Arthur Mee published a run of 41 books, each on a separate county, naming it his King’s England series. A few years ago Steve Rudd obtained permission to reprint them and King’s England Press was launched. Since then, 11 volumes have appeared and it is planned that this figure will increase until all the series are once again available.

The Scottish Family Tree Detective

The Scottish family tree detective is a practical, user- friendly guide to research in family history – in locating the ancestors and exploring their background. Its aim is to provide sign-posts to the past and to solve problems. It shows how to make the most of new opportunities of internet access to information, research resources and catalogues of collections held in archives and libraries, online and on paper. This ‘freedom to roam’ enjoyed by researchers world-wide makes strategy planning necessary. The emphasis is on locating, selecting, evaluating and using sources, on finding out what is locally available and what is kept in central Scottish archives. The book is designed to help those who are starting out on the ancestral trail and also to point the way to new roads of research for those who have already gone some way, including students on genealogical courses.
