Currer-Briggs

First published in 1982, this book is an essential reference and guide for the professional genealogist and the interested amateur alike. Concentrating on non-British genealogical problems, it sets out as succinctly as possible the way in which people of English speech but of foreign descent can begin tracing their ancestors.

Noel Currer-Briggs was a professional genealogist specializing in families emigrating from Britain to the colonies and the United States, with special reference to Virginia and New England before 1690. He was a founder member and former Chairman of the Association of Genealogists and Record Agents.
