This will be a great addition to our libraries genealogy collection especially since it’s an updated resource that has websites for people to explore. I enjoyed reading it. It has wonderful descriptions of what different terms mean, when they are used and how to find them. I love all the links which I hope to use looking for my own family even though they go back farther in history than some of the dates listed in the book but it will give me a good starting point. I learned some new terms and ways to identify them in the records. Plus there are links for handwriting and language in the Scots history.

This is a good handbook for those researching their Catholic ancestors as well as anyone wanting a wider introduction to the history of Roman Catholicism.

To describe this book as wide-ranging would be an understatement. It covers a wealth of subjects embracing both laity and clergy. As there can be few, if any, family historians who don't have ancestors that were members of the Church of England, arguably this is a work for everyone... This book's strength is in the background and the understanding that is provides and it must be recommended for that alone.
