New updated editions of three of my Unlock the Past publications now on sale

I've just noticed today that several new publications I have been working on for Gould Genealogy (www.gould.com.au) in Adelaide, Australia, are now on sale.

The first is a newly revised 2nd edition of my book A Beginner's Guide to British & Irish Genealogy, now available for sale as a print edition or as an ebook. 

Here's the blurb:

First released in 2016, this bestseller has now been updated and released as a 2nd edition.

So if you've decided that you want to trace your British and Irish family history, but have absolutely no idea where to start, this beginner's guide is for you.

In this book, genealogist Chris Paton takes you through the key record sets that will help you get underway with your family history research. He introduces you to the family history societies and archives that can assist your efforts, and provides a little context to the ancestral landscape within which your ancestors once lived, and into which you will soon be immersed. Along the way points out some of the major differences in record types to be found in England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, and the Crown Dependencies of the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.

In each chapter Chris also provides a steer towards further books or sources which can further develop your skills as you become more experienced with the subject matter, making this an invaluable introduction.
