The ones that got away : tracing elusive ancestors who move into, out from and within Britain

“Sooner or later all genealogists encounter elusive family members who appear as if from nowhere; those who disappear without trace and those who vanish for a long period, only to re-emerge later. Ancestors who lurk, parentless, in the top of branches of your family tree, or who are apparently still alive at the age of one hundred and sixty are likely to be migrants. This book describes many research paths you can follow and sources you can consult, in your quest for that migrant ancestor.”--Back cover.
