Tracing Your Service Women Ancestors: A Guide for Family Historians Reviews

The author explains which records survive, where they can be found, and how they can help in your research. Roots and Branch, West Surrey FHS There is a wealth of information. - Family Tree It is surprising to learn that women have served alongside their men folk in the armed services since the 1850s. This book deals with records about pioneering women ancestors, up to the 1920s, the main period of which records are available. With many illustrations this gives a very comprehensive history of how women served their country, as well as enabling you to find the records of this service. - West Middlesex Family History Society This compact book packs an enormous amount of expertise and guidance into a limited space in a form which I think has never been done before - therefore commending it to the experienced researcher as much as the novice. This will save vast amounts of time, money and effort in research which could rapidly recoup its purchase cost. Friends of the NAM, March 2013
