E-book Title: METAL DETECTING GENEALOGY AND FAMILY HISTORY
Author: David Villanueva
Book Description: HOW TO FIND HEIRLOOMS AND ANCESTORS THROUGH THE METALWORK THEY LEFT BEHIND
In the British Isles, for well over one thousand years many people from all walks of life have been putting their names and other personal details on a variety of metal objects. Initially there was a need to identify or be identified and from around the seventeenth century an increasing need to advertise trades or professions. In addition the crown, the armed forces and civilian institutions increasingly awarded medals and badges for service and merit. The result is that there are thousands upon thousands of metal objects around engraved with personal details, any of which your ancestor, regardless of how humble, may have made, used or been awarded.
In the United Kingdom (UK), there are some 30,000 metal detectorists busily unearthing this ancestral metalwork, which is not only bringing to light countless thousands of lost or discarded items but spawning studious research and volumes of new and revised literature on the history and ancestry behind these metal objects. So, often with little more effort than a visit to you local library, you can get your hands on extensive catalogues of potential ancestors with more genealogical and family history information than you will generally find in church records. And remember these metal records date back as far as 750 years before parish records began.
I will not only guide you swiftly to these sources but also describe a number of ways that you can get your hands on the objects themselves, whether they have been lost, discarded or sold and often at little or no cost. If you have ever handled an object your ancestor made, used or was awarded, you will know what a thrill it is. You will be in direct contact with REAL family history, not just a scribbled note in a document. In this book I will guide you every step of the way to discover:
The types of metal objects your ancestors may have made, used or been awarded.
The extensive sources of information on these artefacts and the people associated with them, many of which will be found by visiting your local library.
New lines of enquiry that can take your ancestry back into the mists of time.
How and where you can locate the real antique items connected with your ancestors and experience the joy of owning and displaying tangible family history.
How finders of these objects can learn more about the personalities associated with their finds and the artefacts themselves.
How finders can contact family historians interested in their finds (even some of those in the scrap box) to the benefit of all parties.
How to trace the family history of your finds or your own for that matter.
