“Ye Olde Genealogie: Midieval English Research“
Presented by Dr. Dan Hubbard
In this presentation we will llook at the transition from “Modern” genealogy to researching in the Middle Ages. We will look at what you can do to research your ancestors among the “common folk” when there are no more parish registers to follow back in time. Then we will look at some of the vast amount of documentation for the gentry and nobility. Some of those documents, like wills, should feel familiar. Others will bear little resemblance to what we normally think of when we think of genealogy-heraldic visitations, inquisitions postmortem., pipe rolls, etc., and we will know that we have entered the genealogical mists of time v Medieval English Research.
