Читать книгу Collins Tracing Your Family History - Ryan Tubridy, Anthony Adolph - Страница 51

Besides magazines, journals and an increasingly huge number of websites, many private researchers are also listed in special directories and for a small fee you can be listed too, with your name, address and the names you are interested in, with specific periods and countries, if applicable. The best known directories are the Genealogical Research Directory and the Federation of Family History Societies’ British Isles Genealogical Research Directory, commonly known as the ‘Big R’, which is now available on CD-Rom. If making contact by post, be aware of the widely practised code of conduct: always to enclose SAEs. Some people will not reply to correspondents who do not do so, even if they are offering valuable information or are long-lost cousins. Online equivalents to these directories are the many websites that put people in touch with those with similar interests, particularly www.genesreunited.co.uk (see here).
