HOME WORK
If possible, please read the chapter called "Lovers Graves" in Bethan Phillips' book of the same name. If you can buy /borrow a copy. Next week we will start to look at the use of family history records in this excellent history of an intriguing episode in by-gone local life. Over the next few weeks we examine the ways in which we too might produce successful search results were we to consider writing up the history of someone in our own family.
THIS WEEKS LINKS
Just came across a US book called " The Desperate Genealogist's Idea Book" !
[nb be careful of US books, they have a different set of research problems to researchers based on this side of the pond – unless you have US relations in your trees. Around Ceredigion there are many folk related to original Ohio and Patagonia emigrants – see the LLGC site ]
