Tracing your CI Ancestors

Tracing your CI Ancestors

Tracing your CI ancestors is an expert introduction for the family historian to the wealth of material available to researchers in libaries and archives in Jersey, Guernsey and Sark.  Full information is given on how to access the birth, marriage and death records which are only available in the islands and differ in format from those in England and Wales.

Marie-Louise Backhurst covers the census, church records, nonconformist registers, rating lists, newspapers, wills and laws of inheritance, official records and the variety of other sources that can illuminate a past life and make family history research so rewarding.

 The author\'s advice on how to use them and get the most out of them, will be invaluable to anyone who is trying to find out about the life and experience of an ancestor who lived in the Channel Islands or was connected with them.
