We are all fascinated by the unknown members of our respective families. Where did our family come from originally? Were earlier generations related to anyone famous? Did any of our antecedents leave a serious mark on history? Each book follows the same pattern: * A brief introduction to the family, its crest and details of where the family originated. * Information on how to set about tracing your own particular branch of the family - how to use the variety of genealogical research tools that are now available. * Brief biographies of famous people who bore same surname. Each book is illustrated in full colour throughout and will provide an attractive introduction to the family name for its various members
