LINCOLNSHIRE GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH BOOKS

        REFERENCE BOOKS THAT I HAVE FROM LINCOLNSHIRE

You are number since 16 March 1997.

I will be happy to search any of the following booklets for your Lincolnshire Research. Email your request to: Nan Clark .  Please be quite sure that the surnames that you want me to search for have been in that particular location at a time approximate to the date of the book.

Please note that the Census Indexes of Surnames are just THAT - Indexes! ONLY surnames are listed and there could be many, many for a common name - like CLARK!! These indexes give listings only of where to find all of these surnames and sometimes they can get quite lengthy, so you will have to be patient with me when you request entries from these indexes.

3. A Pocket Guide to the Fenland - By Trevor Bevis
4. Water Water Everywhere (The Draining of the Fens) - by Trevor Bevis
5. Watch and Ward In the Countryside - (A Review of the Development of the County Constabulary.....based on the Market Town of Horncastle) By J.N. Clarke
6. An Historical Atlas Of Lincolnshire - Published by University of Hull Press - an excellent book in order to learn about Lincolnshire's exciting and sometimes, turbulant history. I bought this book at the Lincoln Archives Office in 1994 and I assume that they still sell copies of it.

*These Particular booklets were variously published from 1987 through 1993.

*****************************************************************************

The following books would be of special help to read before you make a trip to the Lincolnshire Archives in Lincoln. If you can't find these books, send me an email and I will give you the address of the publisher who, I'm sure, will be able to help you.

The books are:
1. Discovering Parish Boundaries by Angus Winchester, published 1990 by Shire Publications,Ltd.

2. A Gazetteer of Historic Lincolnshire published by the Lincolnshire Family History Society

3. Genealogical Sources In Lincolnshire published by the Lincolnshire Family History Society

4. Tracing Your ancestors In the Public Record Office by Jane Cox & Timothy Padfield and published in London by Her Majesty's Stationery Office.

Another good idea is to join the Lincolnshire Family History Society. They publish a quarterly booklet that is filled with information about Lincolnshire. Write to the LINCOLNSHIRE ARCHIVES  for information. There is a membership link with an application form along with a link to the publications list. You don't have to be a member of the society to make a purchase of these publications.

There are also two other web sites that would be most useful to you. One is by Cyndi Howells and is called CyndisList. The other one is GENUKI - or Genealogy Research in the UK and Ireland

There is a gentleman named Dave Gates, who has a remarkable Web site all about just the United Kingdom. If you want to look at it, please go to the following address: DR.DAVE'S UK PAGES
