(This Vintage Ad originally invited people to come to England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and Scotland to "ancestor-hunt.")
Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
First step in ancestor-hunting : a chat with the village’s senior inhabitant. How to find your great-great-great-great-great-; grandfather in Britain. First, go back to the village your ancestors came from. Talk to the oldest inhabitant. He’ll be a gold mine of information on eyerybody's family history - yours included.
Or visit the Vicar. He can show you the Parish Register. Some contain four hundred years of news about marriages, baptisms, burials.
If the Parish Register doesn't help, don't give up. Rent rolls and hearth taxes, census returns, wills and deeds are all tenderly filed somewhere. The British adore old documents and never throw them out.
Whenever the trail grows cold, call on the curators of Britain's genealogical societies and great libraries (such as the British Museum).
If you consult the telephone book, you may discover a helpful great-aunt (or charming cousin). If you consult the College of Heralds in London, or the Lord Lyon in Edinburgh, you may come up; with a Coat of Arms.
See your travel agent and write for free booklet, Tracing you Ancestors, to the British Travel Assn...
If you don't have a British ancestor, why not invent one!
