[APG Public List] Burke's Peerage etc.

[LBoswell]

It's an interesting area to work in, and there are some credible sources. If 
you want to explore the era directly , there more period State Papers online 
now. Early Rolls that have been transcribed and can be searched online. Use 
the Peerage as a general map.

I have managed to use my high school latin to make sense of Medieval 
documents, though with more than a little help from an excellent little free 
Latin-English translation program that handles  medieval latin phrases. Be 
warned though that if you go back to sources contemporary to the Elizabethan 
time period, it's easy to get side-tracked into following some fascinating 
material.

  I am now reading Peerage and Pedigree; Studies in Peerage Law and Family 
History [1910] by J Horace Round and he agrees completely.

  Fascinating!

  Excellent site, but be very wary of Burke's Peerage.  Nothing in it should 
be taken at face value.  I use it as a rough guide, but have found many 
errors in it along the way.

    An extremely useful complement to Burke's is this very deep and rich web 
site:
