  Basic Facts About Tracing Your Catholic Ancestry in England
 

This slim volume (16 pages) provides a brief of Roman Catholicism in England from the 16th to the 19th centuries and looks at the problems and persecutions encountered by its followers which in turn generated their own special types of records. Sources covered include registers of baptisms, marriages and burials maintained by the Catholic church. Useful addresses and a substantial bibliography are included

  Guide to Jewish Genealogy in the UK
  This is a very comprehensive guide to locating UK Jewish records. The focus of the book is firmly on locating resources rather than going into detail on the content of records. Particularly useful is the 60 page directory of UK towns which provides details of synagogues, cemeteries and information about when Jews notably settled in the area.
