This improved and extended edition of Sheridan's popular family history record book has space to record EIGHT GENERATIONS, that's a whopping 254 direct ancestors, with a FULL PAGE devoted to every person.
This book is...

What's inside?

- Double page spreads arranged in logical family groups.

How to buy the paperback book
The paperback book is available to order from two suppliers. My preferred supplier is the Great British Bookshop. If you buy there, you should receive a chunkier, heavier copy, made with 150 gsm paper.
Unfortunately, I cannot control the paper weight Amazon uses. The Amazon copy is printed on thinner 90 gsm paper, but I suppose this might suit you if you prefer a lighter weight book.
If you ask for a copy at your local bookshop they can probably order either version, but many bookshops refuse to order from Amazon - do feel free to ask them.
How to buy the hardback book
As above, there are two options. If you buy from the Great British Bookshop, the copy you receive will be A4, that's 210 x 297 mm. It will be on 150 gsm paper.
Amazon don't offer A4 hardbacks, so the book will be slightly shorter than A4, that's 210 x 279 mm, and will be on lighter 90 gsm paper. The content is the same, but it will be slightly compressed to fit on the page.
Is the book available on Kindle?
Nope! Because this is a workbook, it is not available on Kindle.
What's special about this book?
- there's a full page for every ancestor.
- each double page spread is a family.
- checkboxes are included for all UK documents up to 2022.
- That's my painting on the front cover!
I hope you find this book useful
Happy hunting!
