BOOK - Tracing Your Pauper Ancestors, A Guide For Family Historians [in Britain]
By: Robert Burlison
Many family historians will come across direct links to ancestors who were affected by poverty. Yet despite the burgeoning interest in genealogy, the history of pauperism and of poor relief has rarely been written about, and no previous book has provided a guide to documents and records that family researchers can use to their trace their pauper ancestors. In this accessible and informative introduction, Robert Burlison gives a vivid account of poverty and the poor. He identifies relevant records, indicates where they can be found, and offers essential advice on how this information can be used to piece together the lives of distant and not so distant relatives.

BOOK - The French-Canadian Heritage in New England [USA]
By Gerard J. Brault
The French-Canadian Heritage in New England is a comprehensive historical, sociological, and cultural introduction to the sizable Franco-American population in New England. From 1865 to 1920 thousands of French Canadians immigrated to New England from Quebec and Acadia; today Franco-Americans are the third largest ancestry group in New England, outnumbered only by the English and the Irish. In his account of their history and culture, Gerard Brault follows the migration of French Canadians to New England, their experience as a community in the United States, and the many aspects of their cultural legacy: literature and folklore, art and architecture, education and politics.
