More than 63 million Americans claim Irish or British ancestry, over 22% of our population. And many of those 63 million are searching for their ancestral roots. Most won't go back many generations before they have to "leap across the pond" in search of their ancestors, and Vol. V in Quillen's Essentials of Genealogy helps budding genealogists do just that. Topics addressed in the book include: -- Where to find Irish and British records -- How to access these records -- How to use the Internet to help you in your search -- Necessary preparations for a trip abroad to do research in these countries -- Pitfalls and issues in obtaining such records -- Research tips specifically geared for England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales
