Tracing Your Belfast Ancestors

A practical guide to researching ancestors from Northern Ireland's capital city.

 In Tracing Your Belfast Ancestors, genealogist and bestselling author Chris Paton returns home to Northern Ireland to provide a research gateway for those wishing to trace their ancestors from the Northern Irish capital. With a concise summary of the city's history, a tour of some of the city's most amazing archives, libraries and museums, and a detailed overview of the records generated by those who came before, he expertly steers the reader towards centuries of ancestral exploration, both through online resources and within the city of Belfast itself—and with a wee bit of craic along the way!
