Genealogical Research Data CDs
We stock and publish a wide range of data CDs to help you with your research. They contain material of every sort, with records as early as the 13th century.
Our CDs are in the form of virtual books and come with Adobe Acrobat Reader Software for Windows. If you use an alternative Operating System software is available for free from the Adobe website. The files are bookmarked so you can jump to various sections and most are searchable and printable.
Acrobat CDs are one of the few ways of tracking down a resident in the UK before the Census. The book lists people that voted in elections, giving the full name of the voter, their residence, free-hold property and the way they voted.
These are records of family pedigrees with the right to bear arms. The visitations to a county by heralds occurred in the 16th and 17th century. Heralds had the official role to record who was entitled to arms and gather appropriate evidence. These can be an invaluable source of genealogical information.
The visitations were printed in book form in the late 1800's and have been scanned by S&N and reproduced as Acrobat documents on CD.
