Other Sources
Old family photographs, if they are correctly identified and labelled, can be a useful source of information, particularly when they are being discussed with elderly family members.
Local newspapers often give lists of attendees at weddings and funerals. It is then left to the researcher to sort out the family from the friends; not always an easy job.
Telephone directories, in book form and on CD-ROM, are sources of names and addresses of latter day bearers of the family name. UK-Info disk is the modern equivelent, containng the complete electoral roll.
