BOOK - A Guide to Military History on the Internet, A Comprehensive Introduction for
Genealogists and Military Historians By: Simon Fowler
There are thousands of websites devoted to all aspects of military history from ancient
Greece to the modern Gulf. This unique book helps you find the ones that will help with
your research whether you are checking out a soldier ancestor or an airman or researching
a naval campaign. Sections cover the British armed services and their long military
history, but the author also describes in detail websites that focus on American and
Canadian forces. More Information:

BOOK - Tracing your [British] Army Ancestors
A Comprehensive Introduction for Genealogists and Military Historians
By: Simon Fowler
Whether you are interested in the career of an individual British officer, researching
medals awarded to a soldier or just want to know more about a particular battle or
campaign, this book will point you in the right direction. Assuming that the reader has no
prior knowledge of the British army, its history or organization, family historian Simon
Fowler explains which records survive, where they can be found and how they can help you
in your research. More Information:

BOOK - Tracing Your Northern [England] Ancestors,
Northumberland, Tyneside, Durham, Wearside, Tees Valley and Cumbria
By: Keith Gregson.
The far north of England is a key site for family historians. Many researchers, seeking to
trace their ancestry back through the generations, will find their trail leads to the
north or through it. And yet, despite the burgeoning interest in genealogy and the
importance of the region in so many life stories, no previous book has provided a guide to
the documents and records that family historians can use in their search. More

BOOKS - Vital Record Notices Extracted from Early Canadian Methodist Periodicals 1830-1890
By Donald A. McKenzie.
Mr. McKenzie spent two decades meticulously transcribing genealogical extractions from a
variety of Methodist newspapers and periodicals covering the period of 1830 to 1890.
Oftentimes these records are the only documented trace of a birth, marriage, death or
family connections of an individual in the early 19th Century. For others, these published
announcements can contain more or different information than was recorded on surviving
church and civil records. A significant percentage of Canadian Protestants in this
time-frame adhered to the Methodist faith, while many others accepted the services of
Methodist circuit riders when churches of thier faith had not been established in their
communities yet. Each volume listed below has a detailed description of its content.

UPDATE - Lanark County [Ontario] Historical Atlas - - NEW - -
Global has partnered with a printing firm to produce a very high quality reproduction of
the Lanark County Historical Atlas. The atlas is printed with colour and B&W maps,
produced on heavy-weight acid-free paper and bound in a high-grade binding. This is the
complete atlas, not just the 70 or so pages that were reprinted by other firms in the
past... This reprint is of all pages... more than 200 in all.
The books are at the bindery this week and expected to be in-house and available to pickup
or ship by November 1, 2007.
We've posted a description of the atlas to our website, along with some pictures and a
link where you can pre-order your copy. You can also order by calling toll-free
1-800-361-5168 from Tuesday to Saturday 9-5pm eastern daylight saving time. Please note
that the cover of the book will have a different, and even more attractive front cover
stamping than that shown on the website.
This is a limited edition of 500 copies that will probably sell out before Christmas.
Reserve your copy today to avoid disappointment.
The link to the online description is:
http://globalgenealogy.com/countries/canada/ontario/lanark/resources/5020...
We are pleased to be able to make this limited edition reprint available to genealogical
