My Ancestor Settled British West Indies

A concise, straightforward guide to help you start to trace your Irish ancestry. Alan Stewart’s book is not only for people who live in Ireland but also for anyone living in other countries. The challenges of Irish research are well known but many records and sources do exist. Alan aims to guide you through the pitfalls and problems, while offering plenty of advice and tips along the way.

One-sixth of the population of England and Wales live in the London area, and a high proportion of the population has always lived in London. Most genealogists, therefore, will have, sooner or later, to tackle the tracing of London ancestry. However, tracing London ancestors is not impossible, and relies on much of the same techniques used elsewhere, although with different emphases. The purpose of this booklet is to review these techniques in the specific circumstances of London.
