Through the local government and reorganisation of that year it lost its ancient heartland, the Vale of the White Horse, but gained the southern tip of Buckinghamshire. Today, further restructuring threatens the new county with a loss of identity; which gives timely topicality to the publication of this long awaited account, in which Dr. Hunter tells the story of all the Berkshires, old and new.

BOOK - Welsh Family History, A Guide to Research by J.Rowlands, et al. (Eds) This book is not a step by step guide for complete beginners.

The editorial group had two main aims in mind when steering this book to publication. First, to give readers an insight into the social, cultural, religious and linguistic background of Wales and the ways in which this can effect hamily history research. Secondly, it wanted to dispel the widely held belief that these aspects pose insurmountable barriers to researching Welsh ancestors. 316 pgs/pub1994/softcover. More information
