British Genealogy

British genealogy encompasses the entire British Isles, including the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man), and the Republic of Ireland. A successful British genealogy search will depend greatly on the prior knowledge of the exact parish from which the immigrant family arrived to the United States. If a person migrated solo before 1837, the search can be quite difficult to pursue. The few surviving passenger lists that currently exist don't usually reflect information on individuals, but some do reflect family group information.

Additionally, British genealogy consists of the use of acronyms, jargon, slang and shorthand phrases which can be quite confusing to one not knowledgeable in this area. Also, understanding the differences between a shire and a county, as well as the abbreviations of the English county names are very important. Because the process of tracing one's British ancestry can be quite difficult, many individuals find that it necessary to have a professional genealogist help them trace their family's ancestry.
