I enjoyed reading this book and found the information to be informative. The addition of the author’s genealogy and newspaper research examples provided greater insight about the deceased person being studied. I had not previously thought about the information that could be learned by studying tombstones but can see how useful it could be to genealogists.

Although a major source of information about field and place names, property history and the growth of towns and cities, these documents are some of the most neglected. Useful reading for beginner and experienced family and local historians, Dr Nat Alcock, of the University of Warwick, aims to put this right by demonstrating how these records can be found, analysed and interpreted. With information presented in a series of concise and easy-to-read chapters, it reveals how fascinating and rewarding title deeds can be once their history, language and purpose are understood.

This subject fascinates me. I love delving into the lesser known people tied up in crime cases, and what happened to them after the media glare was over. This book is really useful for archive sources, chapters on researching family history for criminal ancestors, and lots more. I'd really recommend this!
