This second book of the series takes the genealogist back the brick wall by using the not-so obvious and often overlooked. Finding records during the Indian war and colonial times of America are discussed, along with old church records, and records of old insurance companies and banks. Immigration records and ship passenger lists are explained.
DNA is discussed as another way to get past a brick wall. Then we switch to European records with birth, marriage, and death records back to the Middle Ages. European church, military, and occupational guild records are explained.
It is imperative this far back to know how to read Middle English, for many of the words and letters of today are far different than they were back then. Alphabets and unique words are spelled out. Visitations (medieval censuses) are explained along with how to find lists of names.
This far back, the genealogist needs to check whether an ancestor was of the peerage of royalty. Or perhaps of the gentry such as a knight, a gentleman or a yeoman. All are explained in detail.
This book is a must-have for the serious genealogist, and an excellent follow up to volume 1 which covers America mostly during the 19th and 20th centuries.

She basks in 100-degree weather with palm trees, cacti, and a computer with most of the letters worn off.She began researching her family tree in the mid-1960s, and has traced her family back to the early 1600s in England and Wales.
With a bachelor’s degree in English, Bible and social science from Harding University and part of a master’s degree in Bible, including Greek, from the Harding Graduate School of Theology, she also has a master’s degree in management and human relations from Abilene University.
Her newspaper column appeared for several years in newspapers in Texas and North Carolina ~ Little Known Facts About the Bible ~ and she has written for numerous Christian publications.
She spends half her day writing, and the other half teaching English over the internet worldwide using the Bible as textbook through World English Institute. She has taught some 7000 Muslims, mostly in the Middle East. Students she has converted to Christianity are in hiding in Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Jordan, Somalia, Sierra Leone, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Indonesia, and Palestine. ‚They are my heroes, ‚ she says.
