Tracing Your Marginalised Ancestors is a resource and history guide and part of a series for family/amateur historians written and collated by Dr. Janet Few. Released 30th April 2024 by Pen & Sword, it's 168 pages and is available in paperback and ebook formats.
This book is especially written for readers who are researching their family history, and especially those branches of family who were not mainstream and who were often less well documented due to substance abuse, crimes (many of which are no longer considered crimes, such as bankruptcy), mental illness, and very often simply ethnicity.
There are numerous resources and links to reference materials and libraries included here. The appendices include an alphabetical glossary, links lists
(slanted toward sources in the UK), a bibliography as well as links to
modern day resources to visit.
This would be an excellent choice for public library acquisition, for gift giving to amateur historians/family archivists, and for the home reference library.
Four and a half stars.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
