I posted this guide in several parts to the WEST-RIDING Internet genealogy list in July and August 2000 in the hope that it would not only help newcomers to genealogy and family history to become more experienced in research techniques, but also to answer some of those questions that seem to get constantly asked in online genealogy mailing lists. Though intended principally for researchers with ancestors in the historic West Riding of Yorkshire, I hope some parts of it, at least, may prove of use to a wider audience.
PART 1 - General Advice
PART 2 - Civil Registrations & Cenesus`s
PART 3 - Parish Registers & Bishop`s Transcripts
PART 4 - Other Sources
PART 5 - Understanding the I.G.I
